Famous quotes containing the words armed, forces and/or order:

    He could pause in his cross-examination, look at a man, projecting his face forward by degrees as he did so, in a manner which would crush any false witness who was not armed with triple courage at his breast,—and, alas! not unfrequently a witness who was not false.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    And whoever forces himself to love anybody
    begets a murderer in his own body.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twenty five years ago, I was a hired laborer. The hired laborer of yesterday, labors on his own account today; and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow. Advancement—improvement in condition—is the order of things in a society of equals.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
