Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or values:

    Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.
    Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

    When the shingles hissed
    in the rain incendiary,
    other values were revealed to us,
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
