Living Standard

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or standard:

“To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
