Famous quotes containing the words standard, reference and/or values:

    “Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind’s faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity—namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    “The common behavior of mankind is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
    —Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
