Miniature Standard

Famous quotes containing the words miniature and/or standard:

    Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
