Stand Upright

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or upright:

    But there are no fractions, the world is an integer
    Like us, and like us it can neither stand wholly apart nor disappear.
    When one is young it seems like a very strange and safe place,
    But now that I have changed it feels merely odd, cold
    And full of interest.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Some, it seems to me, elect their rulers for their crookedness. But I think that a straight stick makes the best cane, and an upright man the best ruler.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
