Sovereign Military Order

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign, military and/or order:

    ‘tis a duteous thing
    To show all honor to an earthly king;
    —Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 21–22)

    Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.
    Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?
    Leontine Young (20th century)
