Standard Conjectures

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or conjectures:

    Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.

    Our conjectures pass upon us for truths; we will know what we do not know, and often, what we cannot know: so mortifying to our pride is the base suspicion of ignorance.
