Famous quotes containing the words standard, reference and/or values:

    Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    The values by which we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose light justice and injustice, good and evil, means and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline.
    Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
