The author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom.
Book of Common PrayerLet him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
As the palm-tree standeth so straight and so tall, The more the hail beats, and the more the rains fall.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowAnd though longing and pity are two sundry properties, as to my sight, in this standeth the point of the Spiritual Thirst: which is desire in Him as long as we be in need , drawing us up to His bliss. And all this was seen in the Shewing of Compassion: for that shall cease on Doomsday.
Behind the dim unknown, standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
