Standing Quotations
There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. Franklin D. Roosevelt I would rather die standing than live on my knees! Emiliano Zapata Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies. Thomas Jefferson I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale. Thomas Jefferson The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line. H. L. Mencken |
