Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    “When a person hasn’t in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog’s bark in every sound.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him; then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
