To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree.

It was quite distressing to witness the contrast between the English educated parents and their grown-up children, whose manners and ideas seemed barely equal to those of the lower uneducated order at home.

Sir James Clark Ross

Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. As the Beams to a house, as the bones to the microcosm of man, so is order to all things.

Robert Southey

To be a hero or a heroine, one must give an order to oneself.

Simone Weil

What I must have said and possibly did say was, Stand up Guards! and then gave the commanding officers the order to attack.

Arthur Wellesley

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change And to preserve change amid order.

Alfred North Whitehead

I acknowledge, Lord, and I give thanks that you have created your image in me, so that I may remember you, think of you, love you. But this image is so obliterated and worn away by wickedness, it is so obscured by the smoke of sins, that it cannot do what it was created to do, unless you renew and reform it. I am not attempting, O Lord, to penetrate your loftiness, for I cannot begin to match my understanding with it, but I desire in some measure to understand your truth, which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand in order that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this too I believe, that 'unless I believe, I shall not understand.' (Isaiah 7:9)

Saint Anselm of Canterbury

Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal; equals revolt in order that they may be superior.

Aristotle

We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and dispositions; we must risk, nay even injure, our own health in order to be able to preserve or restore that of others.

John Abernethy
