Quotes About Order

How this extraordinary situation could possibly have gone undetected can be explained in part by the fact that the required annual inspection of the ship had been carried out by government inspectors on May 16, 1934, a month before Captain Wilmott issued his order. The inspectors concluded that the Morro Castle still had the right to "the highest classification" of the American Bureau of Shipping.

Es gibt nur zwei verbale Tendenzen: die mathematischen Lehrsätze und das Wort als Kunst. Alles andere ist Geschäftssprache, Bierbestellung.
~ Gottfried Benn
God created the world in the way that he saw fit, and humans should not question the divinely appointed order. All wisdom literature, not just Job, develops this theme (e.g., Is 40:28- 29). Human beings must take their proper place in the cosmos, find their appointed life and make the most of it.
~ Grant R. Osborne
God's justice transcends human frailty, and our duty is to await his answers. Rather than assume the right to determine the laws of God's created order (Crenshaw calls this "Titanism"), we must humbly submit to God's greater wisdom.
~ Grant R. Osborne
Every democracy was a kind of anarchy in slow motion: any statute, any constitution could be changed, given time; any social contract, written or unwritten, could be dishonoured.
~ Greg Egan
Order my life. I'm nothing without you: fragments of time, fragments of words, fragments of feelings. Make sense of me. Make me whole.
~ Greg Egan
God's mind gives both diversity and order to all things, thus guarantying the reality of particulars (multiplicity) and yet assuring that they are intelligible (unity).
~ Greg L. Bahnsen
Chace went to the bar to order the first round, two lagers. The barman was old, and old-fashioned, and when he served her one pine, presumably for Wallace, and a half, presumably for her, she sent the half back. "No, another pint, if you please." The barman's eyes turned critical. "Not terribly ladylike." "I'm a terrible lady.
~ Greg Rucka
The three most ancient opinions concerning God are Anarchia, Polyarchia, and Monarchia. The first two are the sport of the children of Hellas, and may they continue to be so. For Anarchy is a thing without order; and the Rule of Many is factious, and thus anarchical, and thus disorderly. For both these tend to the same thing, namely disorder; and this to dissolution, for disorder is the first step to dissolution. But Monarchy is what we hold in honor.
~ Gregory Nazianzus
The belief in God rests on the art and wisdom displayed in the order of the world.
~ Gregory of Nyssa
Lately I've had to redefine the word "knowledge" to a knowledge that cannot know anything. I'm dealing not in careless absurdities here but in the way material reality is unobservable and implicit order can be found in paradox. Perhaps despair is the only human sin. Who am I to feel disappointment? Is a bird disappointed in the sky
~ Gretel Ehrlich
There is plenty of law at the end of a nightstick.

~ Guillaume Apollinaire
Na kraju krajeva, možda ništa nije potpuno slu?ajno. Možda se neki doga?aji moraju dogoditi, pošto-poto.
~ Guillaume Musso
La vida transcurre a velocidades y ritmos disímiles. Por largos periodos avanza con lentitud y de súbito, en lapsos cortísimos, suceden eventos frenéticos y radicales que la trastornan hasta dejarla irreconocible. Cómo y por qué entra uno a esos ríos caóticos y furiosos es un misterio. Nos quejamos de la grisura de la cotidianeidad, pero con frecuencia es nuestra tabla de salvación. Una existencia sin orden termina por apabullarnos.
~ Guillermo Arriaga
La memoria es una traductora simultánea que interpreta los recuerdos al azar o siguiendo un orden arbitrario: nadie puede manipular el recuerdo y quien crea que pueda es aquel que está más a merced del arbitrio de la memoria.
~ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Any legend, any creature, any symbol we ever stumble on, already exists in a vast cosmic reservoir where archetypes wait. Shapes looming outside our Platonic cave. We naturally believe ourselves clever and wise, so advanced, and those who came before us so naïve and simple…when all we truly do is echo the order of the universe, as it guides us…
~ Guillermo del Toro
You don't know what order with freedom means! You only know what revolt against oppression is! You don't know that the rod, discipline, violence, the state and government can only be sustained because of you and because of your lack of socially creative powers that develop order within liberty!
~ Gustav Landauer
Be steady and well-ordered in your life so that you can be fierce and original in your work.
~ Gustave Flaubert
keeping order is a crutch for those who are too lazy to search for things …)
~ Guy Deutscher
Gardens were an island of order imposed upon the chaos of the world.
~ Guy Gavriel Kay
C'était aussi un ambitieux, estima-t-elle, mais seulement à la façon des gens trop zélés qui craignent de voir dérangé l'ordre d'une vie bien établie. Aucun feu intérieur n'animait cet homme.
~ Guy Gavriel Kay
The customs officials never ask for gifts but they expect them. There is a fairly precise scale of how much to give at different levels. If you are too generous with someone lower down the ranks of bureaucrats it will often become known, and those higher up will be unhappy. Not only will they expect more themselves, they will be legitimately disturbed that someone is interfering with norms and protocols. It is not for reckless Jaddites to disturb an orderly system.
~ Guy Gavriel Kay
Sabemos que no hay inicios de los tiempos; los tiempos son un continuo que la memoria marca para darse un orden y otorgar un sentido a lo que no tiene sentido.
~ Héctor Aguilar Camín
