It stands for diversity. It stands for vision and strength. It stands for belief in the right things. That's what I think it stands for.

John Carlos

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige, and even his life for the welfare of others. In dangerous valleys and hazardous pathways, he will lift some bruised and beaten brother to a higher and more noble life.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Think naught a trifle, though it small appear; Small stands the mountain, moments make the year, and trifles life.

Edward Young

In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.

sometimes a man stands up during supper and walks outdoors, and keeps on walking, because of a church that stands somewhere in the East. And his children say blessings on him as if he were dead. And another man, who remains inside his own house, stays there, inside the dishes and in the glasses, so that his children have to go far out into the world toward that same church, which he forgot.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.

Caitlin Moran

Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature; it is his history.

John Henry Newman

Tim Miller's idea of Colossus was to be bigger and stronger than everyone else, so for the motion capture, they needed an extremely tall man. I'm 6-foot-4, but he wanted Colossus to be over 7 feet, so they used a stunt double to recreate his height, and he did very good job there.

You know what 'FEAR' stands for? It stands for 'False Evidence Appearing Real.' It's the darkroom where Satan develops his negatives.

Gary Busey

If eternity had a season, it would be midsummer. Autumn, winter, spring are all change and passage, but at the height of summer the year stands poised. It's only a passing moment, but even as it passes the heart knows it cannot change.
