Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or mobilization:
“One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
“It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.”
—Benito Mussolini (1883–1945)
“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
