Famous quotes containing the words orders of, orders, precedence, united and/or kingdom:

    One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Selflessness is like waiting in a hospital
    In a badly-fitting suit on a cold wet morning.
    Selfishness is like listening to good jazz
    With drinks for further orders and a huge fire.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine ... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.
    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
    A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
    A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
    Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
    These lie about the room....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
