Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or time:

    Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    The little toy dog is covered with dust,
    But sturdy and stanch he stands;
    And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
    And the musket moulds in his hands.
    Time was when the little toy dog was new,
    And the soldier was passing fair;
    And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
    Kissed them and put them there.
    Eugene Field (1850–1895)
