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

    “The universal principle of etymology in all languages: words are carried over from bodies and from the properties of bodies to express the things of the mind and spirit. The order of ideas must follow the order of things.”
    —Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)

    “In order to be somebody you have to hold even your shadow in high regard.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
