Away back in that time-in 1492-there was a man by the name of Columbus came from across the great ocean, and he discovered the country for the white man. . .

Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies. – Thomas JeffersonRate it:
Bravery is to remain standing upright on his own toe before the wife and Slavery is to keep going down on own knees to bow before her in his life. – Anuj SomanyRate it:
By recurrently standing back, assessing the daily events, taking time to correct the range of vision and evaluating what is authentic in life, we create space for reflection and spiritual regeneration. The construction of momentous and mindful intermissions allows us to update our identity and readjust our personality. ( "Svp "Arrêt sur image" ) – Erik PevernagieRate it:
I hold before you my hand with each finger standing erect and alone, and as long as they are held thus, not one of the tasks that the hand may preform can be accomplished. I cannot lift.

Looking at the waves, cresting then hitting the shore, only to retreat ignominiously back to sea, it reminded me that people are like waves. Their moods shift and turn, then crest before hitting the shore, and only some of the lucky few can ride that wave standing up, smoothly carving an intricate pattern as he or she rides towards a sun blanched shore. At times like this, I always like to quote from Macbeth’s soliloquy in act 5, scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, when Macbeth heard of his wife’s death. – Drew Allan CicconiRate it:
No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of Truth. – Francis BaconRate it:
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider. – Damon RunyonRate it:
Our lives will never be perfect no matter how hard we persevere and do good things each day. We may be hurt or humbled, but we will never give up to keep on standing in the midst of hot or cold weather. – Clifford V. VillalonRate it:

Standing on the shoulders of the great allows you to see further than everyone. – Matshona DhliwayoRate it:
The tweet by the Washington Redskins rings hollow to me. If the team was really interested in standing in solidarity for racial justice, they would change their name from the dictionary-defined racial slur they continue to use. As an indigenous person, I feel their tweet comes off as tone-deaf, not woke. Violence comes in many forms, some more subtle than others. Indigenous Peoples are not your mascots. – Roberto Mukaro BorreroRate it:
There is a sound of humility in the word 'under-standing'. Meditate upon it, then lower yourself to truly understand. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
There were about 400 heads of state from countries all over the world. I walked out and played 'Hotel California,' and everybody in the place gave me a standing ovation, and half of those countries don't even speak English. – Don FelderRate it:
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. – Steven WrightRate it:
When Pat Buchanan thundered, and I quote, We stand with George Bush against the amoral idea that gay and lesbian couples should have the same standing in law as married men and women, I wondered: Who is Pat Buchanan to pronounce anybody's love invalid? – Barbara StreisandRate it:
Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. – Nathaniel HawthorneRate it:
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up. – Ernest HemingwayRate it:
You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims – Harriet WoodsRate it:
