Famous quotes containing the words order of and/or order:

    Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
