Russian Empire Order

Famous quotes containing the words russian, empire and/or order:

    I won the battle the wrong way when our worthy Russian generals were losing it the right way.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
    Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
    Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
    Divided empire with Heaven’s King I hold,
    By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
    As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.”
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    A wise man should order his interests, and set them all in their proper places. This order is often troubled by greed, which puts us upon pursuing so many things at once that, in eagerness for matters of less consideration, we grasp at trifles, and let go things of greater value.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
