Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

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

    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)
