Standard Gray Console

Famous quotes containing the words standard, gray and/or console:

“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)

“Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
