David Hume

A woman's passion is not the measure of a man's love.
Franz Grillparzer
Image
The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.
Carlos Castaneda
Image
When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The peoples owe all political rights and privileges which we enjoy today in greater or lesser measure, not to the good will of their governments, but to their own strength. One need only study the history of the past three hundred years to understand by what relentless struggles every right has had to be wrested inch by inch from the despots.
Rudolf Rocker

Rereading a favorite novel first read 5, 10, or 20 years ago, is a measure of our travel, how far we've come it's a way of visiting an earlier self.

Money is the measure of morality, and the success or failure of slavery as a money-making system, determines with many whether...it should be maintained or abolished.
Frederick Douglass

We all have an unknown ability, which will probably remain unknown forever. And yet that ability can become our ally. Since it’s impossible to measure that ability or give it an economic value, it’s never taken seriously.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It was an eight-harlot inn, if that's how you measure an inn. (I understand that now they measure inns in stars. We are in a four-star inn right now. I don't know what the conversion from harlots to stars is.)
Christopher Moore
Image
Faith is like a boomerang begin using what you have and it comes back to you in greater measure.
Charles L. Allen
Image
We must measure what leads to results, not simply what is easy to measure.
Charles Koch

The one measure of true love is: you can insult the other. --Slavoj Zizek
Russell Brand
Image
In the middle of a recession no tax increase is justified because it kills jobs, and any tax increase is a job-killing measure and should be defeated.
Newt Gingrich
Image
Emancipation came to the colored race in America as a war measure. It was an act of military necessity. Manifestly it would have come without war, in the slower process of humanitarian reform and social enlightenment.
Wendell Willkie
Image
Risks are a measure of people. People who won't take them are trying to preserve what they have. People who do take them often end up having more.
Paul Arden
Image
Thanks in large measure to the ACLU, the belief that there is a wall of separation between faith and state, not just church and state, is endemic. The exercise of religious faith in the public square is not prohibited only the federal imposition of a particular faith. Hardly anyone any longer knows the difference.
F. LaGard Smith

Power is a big thing in baseball. It can't be cheapened. That is, a fellow has it or hasn't. It isn't a fluke or great accomplishment, like a perfect game. When Mantle connects, it's a tape-measure job. Nobody who ever lived has more power than Mantle.
Gabe Paul
Image
A man is free in proportion to the measure of his virtues, and the extent to which he is free determines what his virtues can accomplish.
John of Salisbury
Image
Love yourself even when you don't measure up to your own expectations. You have a certain idea of what you should do and what you should be - it's only a silly idea that passes through your mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No measure can be more desirable, whether viewed with an eye to its intrinsic importance, or to the general sentiment and wish of the Nation than to establish a systematic and effectual arrangement for the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt.
George Washington
Image
No economic measure has more value for a nation than investing in a clean & sustainable low carbon future
Phil Harding
Image
You cannot be healthy and happy without discipline. If you want to measure the level of happiness in your life, just measure the level of discipline in your life. You will never have more happiness than you have discipline.
Matthew Kelly
Image
I think the satirist is always basically optimistic. The satirist's complaint about society is always that it doesn't measure up to a fairly high ideal he has. I think that even the bitterest satirist, even a man like Swift, was probably rather an optimist at heart.
