World Standard

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or standard:

    “I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of.

The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
