Famous quotes containing the words standards and/or numbering:

    “The technologist was the final guise of the white missionary, industrialization the last gospel of a dying race and living standards a substitute for a purpose in living.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    “The task he undertakes
    Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
