Standing Orders

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or orders:

“Grandfather sang it under the gallows:
“Hear, gentlemen, ladies, and all mankind:
Money is good and a girl might be better,
But good strong blows are delights to the mind.”
There, standing on the cart,
He sang it from his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Selflessness is like waiting in a hospital
In a badly-fitting suit on a cold wet morning.
Selfishness is like listening to good jazz
With drinks for further orders and a huge fire.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
