Famous quotes containing the words recommended and/or order:

    I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn’t want all the pills I’ve recommended that’s up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife.
    —Javier Pérez De Cuéllar (b. 1920)

    I’ve never been afraid to step out and to reach out and to move out in order to make things happen.
