Famous quotes containing the words sovereign, military and/or order:
“If we study nature attentively, alike in its great revolutions and in its minutest works, it is impossible not to admit enchantment—giving the word its fullest meaning. Man can create no force; he can but use the only existing force, which includes all others, namely, Motion—the incomprehensible Breath of the sovereign maker of the universe.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
“To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquillity in our conduct.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
