In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
John Ruskin

Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John Ruskin

Order, unity, and continuity are human inventions, just as truly as catalogues and encyclopedias.
Bertrand Russell

In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.
E. Stanley Jones

Order is power.
Henri Frederic Amiel

God is the only being who, in order to reign, doesn't even need to exist.
Charles Baudelaire

In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Charles Baudelaire

I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin

Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Paul Gauguin

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George Eliot

It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
Peter De Vries

Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.
Charles Horton Cooley

A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail... Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.
Charles Horton Cooley

The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
Willem de Kooning

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.
Will Durant

Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos.
Will Durant

Civilization is the order and freedom is promoting cultural activity.
Will Durant

In order to have friends, you must first be one.
Elbert Hubbard

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself.
Carol Burnett

A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.
Carl Sandburg
