“Butler snapped his fingers. "Focus, Artemis! Time enough for your Atlantis Complex later. We have the Atlantis Trench outside that door and six miles of water above it. If you want to stay alive, you need to stay alert." He turned to Holly. "This is ridiculous. I'm pulling the plug."

Holly's mouth was a tight line as she shook her head. "Navy rules, Butler. You're on my boat, you follow my orders."

"As I remember, I brought the boat."

"Yes, thanks for bringing my boat.”
― Eoin Colfer, The Atlantis Complex

“I took my orders, too. But if i couldn't keep you alive, I thought I could at least keep you together. In the middle of a big war, you go looking for a small idea to believe in. When you find one, you hold it the way a soldier holds his crucifix when he's praying in a foxhole.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“To question me once is a simple mistake, Lieutenant. Twice is treason. We execute traitors.”
― Terry Goodkind, Faith of the Fallen

“You can do the right thing that seems wrong to others, or the wrong thing that seems right, and its actually puerile to await recommendation when what you are about to do doesn't concerns anyone.”

“That's odd. It looks almost as if Nick is picking a fight with that elephant."

"Well, the elephant started it."

"That's irrelevant. Fighting with civilians is against the rules. Go break it up."

“Jude Duarte, you will leave the High King's side,' Balekin says.

At that tone, Cardan's focus narrows. I can see him straining to concentrate. 'She will not,' he says.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King

“I cannot conceive that the man who dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a machine. He also had a heart, just like you. He also had his wife and children, his old mother and father. He was as much a human being as you are—with a difference. He was trained to follow orders without questioning, and when the order was given, he simply followed it.”
― Osho, Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other

“Age does not matter in most relationships, but in marriage, it matters a lot. If you marry a younger you have to baby sit, and if you marry an older, you have to follow orders.”

“I am going to give you orders.'

'Oh, indeed,' he said. On his brow, the gold crown of Elfhame caught the light of the sunset.

I took a breath and began. 'You're never to deny me an audience or give an order to keep me from your side.'

'Whysoever would I want you to leave my side?' he asked, voice dry.

'And you may never order me arrested or imprisoned or killed,' I said, ignoring him. 'Not hurt. Not even detained.'

'What about asking a servant to put a very sharp pebble in your boot?' he asked, expression annoyingly serious.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King

“If troops are punished before their loyalty is secured they will be disobedient. If not obedient, it is difficult to employ them. If troops are loyal, but punishments are not enforced, you cannot employ them. Thus, command them with civility and imbue them uniformly with martial ardor and it may be said that victory is certain. If orders which are consistently effective are used in instructing the troops, they will be obedient. If orders which are not consistently effective are used in instructing them, they will be disobedient. When orders are consistently trustworthy and observed, the relationship of a commander with his troops is satisfactory.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“It wasn't as if they had a choice. They were soldiers whose choices had ended when they had signed contracts and taken their oaths. Whether they had joined for reasons of patriotism, of romantic notions, to escape a broken home of some sort, or out of economic need, their job now was to follow the orders of other soldiers who were following orders, too. Somewhere, far from Iraq, was where the orders began, but by the time they reached Rustamiyah, the only choice left for a solider was to choose which lucky charm to tuck behind his body armor, or which foot to line up in front of the other, as he went out to follow the order of the day.”
― David Finkel, The Good Soldiers

“If he had learned anything from his father’s fate, it was to win, no matter how you did it. It was not important if someone else was hurt, or killed. If you won, you would be forgiven anything. You could be taken from a stinking ger and forced through the ranks until a thousand men followed your orders as if they came from the khan himself. Blood and talent. The nation was built on both.”
― Conn Iggulden, Khan: Empire of Silver

“You obey orders, because if you do not, you cannot expect the same from your men. You are part of the wolf, not the whole wolf. I would have thought you had learned that when you were a boy, but it is not the case. A wolf cannot have more than one head, General, or it tears itself apart.”
― Conn Iggulden, Khan: Empire of Silver

“Hey! One of Edilio’s soldiers just came staggering in from the gas station. He says someone attacked, took the place over.â€�
That silenced the argument.
Sam, with exquisite contempt, turned to his girlfriend and said, “You want to go deal with it, Astrid?�
Astrid flushed red.
“No? I didn’t think so. Guess it will be up to me then.�
He left silence in his wake.
“Maybe we better pass some laws real quick so Sam can save our butts legally,� Howard said.
“Howard, go get Orc,� Albert said.
“Now you’re giving me orders, Albert?â€� Howard shook his head. “I don’t think so. Not you or her,â€� he said, jerking a thumb at Astrid. “You may not think much of me, you two, but at least I know who saves our butts. And if I got to take orders from someone, it’ll be the someone who just walked out of here.”

“754 You would regard as absurd a day-laborer who criticised the instructions of the engineer in a building project or a construction worker who criticised an architect’s plans for the building of a house, or a medical assistant who criticised a surgeon’s directions. Why then do you criticise your superiors who have more factors to consider than you can imagine?”

“0820 Hours, 10 miles West of Howell, Idaho: “Patton, Kap, X-Twins! Up top in five! Let’s go!â€� yelled a familiar voice from the ladder leading to above ground Idaho. The Northern Cave Complex in Redoubt West was something to behold.”
