The liturgy, like the feast, exists not to educate but to seduce people into participating in common activity of the highest order, where one is freed to learn things which cannot be taught
Aidan Kavanagh
I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.
Winston Churchill
I am a member of a party of one, and I live in an age of fear. Nothing lately has unsettled my party and raised my fears as much as your editorial, on Thanksgiving Day, suggesting that employees should be required to state their beliefs in order to hold their jobs. The idea is inconsistent with our constitutional theory and has been stubbornly opposed by watchful men since the early days of the Republic.
E. B. White
There is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion
Thomas Browne
A satirist is a man whose flesh creeps so at the ugly and the savage and the incongruous aspects of society that he has to express them as brutally and nakedly as possible in order to get relief.
John Dos Passos
To practice kata is not to memorize an order. You must find the kata that work for you, understand them, digest them and stick with them for life.
Gichin Funakoshi
Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.
Will Durant
A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press, must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the right of the people to know.
Murray I. Gurfein
Nobility is a graceful ornament to the civil order. It is the Corinthian capital of polished society.
Edmund Burke
We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment
Alan Watts
Backstabbers operate out of insecurity, believing they have to have perfect order to eliminate any threat to their power.
Les Parrott
The ladder of success in Hollywood is usually a press agent, actor, director, producer, leading man; and you are a star if you sleep with each of them in that order. Crude, but true.
Hedy Lamarr
There is no quality so contrary to any nature which one cannot affect, and put on upon occasion, in order to serve an interest.
Jonathan Swift
