Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    “All the world is full of inscape and chance left free to act falls into an order as well as purpose.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “Nelson’s famous signal before the Battle of Trafalgar was not: “England expects that every man will be a hero.” It said: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” In 1805 that was enough. It should still be.”
