Famous quotes containing the words content and/or standards:
“It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
Until imagination, ear and eye,
Can be content with argument and deal
In abstract things; or be derided by
A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned mans character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.”
