Order is heaven's first law.
Pope
A place for everything, everything in its place.
Franklin
All is soon ready in an orderly house.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
I Cor 14:40
Order is the sanctity 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 body, so is order to all things.
Southey
One day is as good as two for him who does everything in its
place.
Let all your things have their place; let each part of your
business have its time.
Franklin
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his
judgment, or seldom considerate or conscientious in his
actions.
Lavater
Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its
time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have
far more leisure than those who are always hurrying, as if
vainly attempting to overtake time that has been lost.
Tyron Edwards
Order is a lovely nymph, the child of beauty and wisdom; her
attendants are comfort, neatness and activity; her abode is the
valley of happiness; she is always to be found when sought for,
and never appears so lovely as when contrasted with her
opponent, disorder.
Johnson
Desultoriness may often be the mark of a full head; connection
must proceed from a thoughtful one.
Danby
Order means light and peace, inward liberty and free command
over one's self; order is power.
Amiel
Set all things in their own particular place, and know that
order is the greatest grace.
Dryden
Good order is the foundation of all good things.
Burke
Dispatch is the life of business, and method is the soul of
dispatch.
Method and dispatch govern the world.
Method goes far to prevent trouble in business; for it makes
the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and
instructs those who have business depending, what to do and
what to hope.
Penn
Be methodical if you would succeed in business, or in anything.
-- Have a work for every moment, and mind the moment's work. --
Whatever your calling, master all its bearings and details, its
principles, instruments, and applications. -- Method is
essential if you would get through your work easily and with
economy of time.
W. Mathews
Method is like packing things in a box; a good packer will get
in half as much again as a bad one.
Cecil
The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a
time.
Cecil
