Famous quotes containing the words orders and/or magnitude:

    “No man has received from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom is a gift from heaven, and every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he is in enjoyment of his reason.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “He all their ammunition
    And feats of war defeats
    With plain heroic magnitude of mind
    And celestial vigour armed;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
