Standard Latin

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or latin:

“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)

“There is no doubt that Greek and Latin are great and handsome ornaments, but we buy them too dear.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
