Famous quotes containing the words examples of, examples, british and/or standards:

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “If this creature is a murderer, then so are we all. This snake has killed one British soldier; we have killed many. This is not murder, gentlemen. This is war.”
    —Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man’s character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
