Famous quotes containing the words standards and/or board:

    “As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “And they heaved a mighty breath, every soul on board but me,
    As they saw her nose again pointing handsome out to sea;
    But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
    Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
