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.


Some entries treat standing as something earned slowly, others as a stance taken in a single moment. For more on posture and persistence, browse Being or Down quotes.
