Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or english:
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community.

—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“Six hours for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool.”
—18th-century English proverb.
