Standing Quotes

Lines on where you stand and what you stand for.

Standing carries two senses on this page: the physical act of staying upright, and the reputation someone builds over time, whether that's an institution's long-term credibility or a person's place among peers. This collection gathers lines that play with both. See also Good quotes for other lines on character and worth.
