Standing Orders

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or orders:

“When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
