Surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead - they call us.

- Barack Obama

Because I don't look like I'm skating around as hard as Bobby Bassen doesn't mean my mind isn't working twice as hard as Bobby's mind. Just because I can't fight like Kelly Chase doesn't mean standing in front of the net getting cross-checked and slashed isn't toughness as well.

I was standing on the deck of the USS Blue, a destroyer. We were all alone out there at this buoy, tied up.

- Barney Ross

Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and I were the first female headliners, where we would book our own opening acts. Before that, it was a standing joke that it was more like we had 'pretty little girl singers' opening for a male headliner.

- Barbara Mandrell

It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.

- Bruce Beresford

When you are suddenly standing in front of a bunch of journalists being asked what it's like being a British Olympic legend, it's a bit much to take in.

I don't care about my character here on earth. I don't care about what other people think or say about me, all I care about is my standing before the Lord.

- Brigham Young

What - of all the incredible duets that I've been able to sing, you know, John Raitt was still the one that I just shook in my boots just standing next to him. I loved him so much.

- Bonnie Raitt

Well, I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products, I really do. I've used them for many, many years.

- Bill Parcells

I've had a long standing relationship with Gatorade, and they've been very, very good to me. And I believe in their products; I really do.

- Bill Parcells

We have peace with Israel. We're actually the last man standing. So there is going to be immense pressure and people asking, 'Why are we having this relationship when it's not benefiting anybody?' Obviously, my answer is you always benefit from peace.

- Abdullah II of Jordan

Apathy in general; people who are not standing up for what they believe in because somebody's got a louder mouth than them; it doesn't make any sense.

I like playwriting because it's rooted in a single location with actors standing talking to each other.

- Amanda Peet

Before 'Last Man Standing,' I did a lot of indies, which were raw and controversial and much darker. That is where I feel most secure as a storyteller. That is what I am drawn to the most.

Everyone here says in a surprised manner that I have grown... they are so stupid and do not notice that I am standing up straighter!

- Anna Freud

An Englishmen thinks seated; a Frenchmen standing; an American pacing, an Irishman, afterwards.

- Austin O'Malley

I try to deign golf courses that are individual in character and individual in their own standing.

- Arnold Palmer

I am now standing in a mixture of cooling fluid, gasoline, and cola.

- Adam Savage

All's the government should do is keep the taxes and regulations at a manageable rate, keep a decent standing army and get out of the way.

- Adam Carolla

If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly and lone and hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.

- Abraham Lincoln
