What is Order?

What is comfort, what is strength, what is economy there is in order, material order, intellectual order, moral order; To know where one is going and what one wishes, this is order; To keep one's word and one's engagements, again order; To have everything ready under one's hand, to be able to dispose of all one's forces and to have all one's means of whatever kind under command, still order; To discipline one's habits, one's efforts, one's wishes; To organize one's life, to distribute one's time, to take the measure of one's duties and make one's rights respected; To employ one's capital and resources, one's talents and one's chances profitably; All these belongs to and are included in the word order. Order means light and peace, inward liberty and free command over oneself; Order is power. Aesthetic and moral beauty consist, the first in a true perception of order and the second in submission to it and in the realization of it, by, in and around oneself. Order is man's greatest need and his true well-being. - HENRI FREDERIC AMIEL, 1821-1881 Learn more
