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

    “This entire most beautiful order of good things is going to pass away after its measure has been exhausted; for both morning and evening were made in them.”
    —St. Augustine (354–430)

    “The world men inhabit ... is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.”
    —Anna Ford (b. 1943)

    “I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    “Out of my discomforts, which were small enough, grew one thing for which I have all my life been grateful—the formation of fixed habits of work.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
