Famous quotes containing the words order, battle and/or march:

    It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.
    Paula Nelson (b. 1945)

    “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.
    “I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “Why you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
