Quotes about order

Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit. (Davis Bette)
That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy. (Davis Bette)

Order marches with weighty and measured strides. Disorder is always in a hurry. (Davis Bette)
Good order is the foundation of all great things. (Davis Bette)
When liberty destroys order the hunger for order will destroy liberty. (Davis Bette)
When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions.

To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing. (Davis Bette)
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. (Davis Bette)
His vocation was orderliness, which is the basis of creation. Accordingly, when a letter came, he would turn it over in his hands for a long time, gazing at it meditatively; then he would put it away in a file without opening it, because everything had its own time. (Davis Bette)
What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos. (Davis Bette)
When the governor signs that order and every media outlet that I know of puts out there (that) the governor is signing an emergency order, that's the signal that says you can't arbitrarily jump numbers on gas prices and diesel and other things (Davis Bette)
