Stand

Famous quotes containing the word stand:

    What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
    This fallen star my milk sustains,
    This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
    Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
    And bids my hair stand up?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    My work is the only ground I’ve ever had to stand on. I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation—but I’m working on the foundation.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

    They that stand high have many blasts to shake them,
    And if they fall, they dash themselves to pieces.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
