The way people behave towards each other is a measure of their value as human beings.
Lynne Truss
Image
The way is the beginning of all beings and the measure of right and wrong.
Han Fei
Image
We must teach our children that the real measure of their success in life is how much they'd be worth if they had absolutely nothing.
Walt Mueller
Image
Don't let anyone else take the measure of your worth and capabilities. Always stand proud in who you are!

Image
All I ever seek from good deeds is a measure of respect.
Walter Annenberg
Image
The measure of a man's success must be according to his ability. The advancement he makes from the station in which he was born gives the degree of his success.
Walter Besant
Image
When Moses was alive, these pyramids were a thousand years old. Here began the history of architecture. Here people learned to measure time by a calendar, to plot the stars by astronomy and chart the earth by geometry. And here they developed that most awesome of all ideas - the idea of eternity.
Walter Cronkite
Image
In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress. You can't lose this race because you're not running against anyone else. You're only running against yourself, and as long as you are running, you are winning.
Amby Burfoot

Income is the natural and rational gauge and measure of respectability.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
The ones that measure up are not always the ones you expect.
Walter Lord
Image
Comparing yourself to the people like you, comparing yourself to the people who aren't like you, looking at how many records you've sold, looking at the venue size you're selling out. None of that can even remotely measure how happy you are.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I don't measure my life by the money I've made. Other people might, but certainly don't.
Warren Buffett
Image
We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. Indeed, we seem to collect information because we have the ability to do so, but we are so busy collecting it that we haven't devised a means of using it. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.
Warren G. Bennis
Image
The true measure of a man is how he behaves when death is close.
Alma Katsu
Image
Others can measure their visions by what we see.
Allen Ginsberg
Image
What do warriors do? They are in competition with everyone else. They measure their success and their value on the basis of who they are better than, how much they get, and so on. So, this is the time in your adult life when your primary emphasis is on goal setting, on getting someplace else, and on defeating other people.
Wayne Dyer
Image
When the self is ones exclusive subject and limit, reference and measure, one has no choice but to make a world of words.
Wendell Berry
Image
We will instead have to measure our economy by the health of the ecosystems and human communities where we do our work.
Wendell Berry
Image
We measure genius by quality, not by quantity.
Wendell Phillips
Image
Do not take the yardstick of your ignorance to measure what the ancients knew, and call everything which you do not know lies. Do not call things untrue because they are marvelous, but give them a fair consideration.
Wendell Phillips
Image
I have not seen that standardised tests make the profession less attractive, though some principals respond to them in a way that drives the best teachers out of their schools (by over-emphasising test prep in the school curriculum for example). On the other hand, great teachers want benchmarks to measure progress and tests can help with that.
Wendy Kopp
Image
The gain isn't counted to the recluse and inactive that, having nothing to measure themselves by and never being tested by failure, they simmer and soak perpetually in conscious complacency.
Alice James
Image
I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Image
Wherefore it is impossible to succeed in comparing wealth of different eras or different nations. This, in political economy, like squaring the circle in mathematics, is impracticable, for want of a common mean or measure to go by.
