Standing Orders

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or orders:

“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
