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)

    “The herd of mankind can hardly be said to think; their notions are almost all adoptive; and, in general, I believe it is better that it should be so; as such common prejudices contribute more to order and quiet, than their own separate reasonings would do, uncultivated and unimproved as they are.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.”
    —Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929)
