It is best to do things systematically, since we are only humans, and disorder is our worst enemy. Order in a house ought to be like the machinery in opera, whose effect produces great pleasure, but whose ends must be hid. Fretfulness of temper will generally characterize those who are negligent of order. The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order. Order, thou eye of action. Variety is the condition of harmony. Creation is the production of order. Order means light and peace, inward liberty and free command over one’s self; order is power. Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
