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

    An example is often a deceptive mirror, and the order of destiny, so troubling to our thoughts, is not always found written in things past.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
    yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
    favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 11)

    It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
