Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    “An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “For WAR, consisteth not in Battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the Will to content by Battle is sufficiently known.... So the nature of War, consisteth not in actual fighting; but in the known disposition thereto, during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is PEACE.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
