Sovereign Military Order

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

    The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    There are instances when we are like horses, we psychologists, and grow restless: we see our own shadow wavering up and down before us. A psychologist must look away from himself in order to see anything at all.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
