Living Standard

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or standard:

    So, when the last and dreadful Hour
    This crumbling Pageant shall devour,
    The TRUMPET shall be heard on high,
    The dead shall live, the living die,
    And MUSICK shall untune the Sky.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.
    David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
