Order Perturbation Theory

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or theory:

“The one book necessary to be understood by a divine, is the Bible; any others are to be read, chiefly, in order to understand that.”
—Francis Lockier (1668–1740)

“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
