Stand Losing

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or losing:

“Like a man to double business bound,
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Does he who loves someone on account of beauty really love that person? No, for smallpox, which will kill beauty without killing the person, will cause him to love the person no more. And if one loves me for my judgment, for my memory, he does not love me, for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this myself, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul?”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
