Orders

Famous quotes containing the word orders:

    Really, if the lower orders don’t set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    God is a foreman with certain definite views
    Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
