Famous quotes containing the word order:
“This is one of the worst speeches I’ve ever seen. No one will listen except the Mobil P.R. man. List what we want to say M arrange items in order of priority M then say them plainly and bluntly.... Hit hard and early. Don’t apologize or evade tough issues.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
