National Standard

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or standard:

“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”

“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
