Famous quotes containing the words social and/or orders:
“A mans social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“He was thoughtful and gravebut the orders he gave
Were enough to bewilder a crew.
When he cried Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!
What on earth was the helmsman to do?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
