Measurement Quotes (page 26)

The Tezuman priests have a sophisticated calendar and an advanced horology," quoted Rincewind."Ah," said Eric, "Good."No," said Rincewind patiently. "It means time measurement."Oh. Terry Prachett
There's nothing of any importance in life - except how well you do your work. Nothing. Only that. Whatever else you are, will come from that. It's the only measure of human value. All the codes of ethics they'll try to ram down your throat are just so much paper money put out by swindlers to fleece people of their virtues. The code of competence is the only system of morality that's on a gold standard. Ayn Rand
That economics has a considerable conceptual apparatus with an appropriate terminology can not be a serious ground for complaint. Economic phenomena, ideas, instruments of analysis exist. They require names. Education in economics is, in considerable measure, an introduction to this terminology and to the ideas that it denotes. Anyone who has difficulties with the ideas should complete his education or, following an exceedingly well-beaten path, leave the subject alone. It is sometimes said... John Kenneth Galbraith
In History, stagnant waters, whether they be stagnant waters of custom or those of despotism, harbour no life; life is dependent on the ripples created by a few eccentric individuals. In homage to that life and vitality, the community has to brave certain perils and must countenance a measure of heresy. One must live dangerously if one wants to live at all. Herbert Read
When you were a wandering desire in the mist, I too was there, a wandering desire. Then we sought one another, and out of our eagerness dreams were born. And dreams were time limitless, and dreams were space without measure. Khalil Gibran
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance. Alexander Dumas
James Bryce quote: "The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry..."
The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it a James Bryce
Stephen King quote: "Relief loosens tongues beyond measure."
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure. Stephen King
No one, ever, can give the exact measure of his needs, his apprehensions, or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked cauldron on which we bang out tunes that make bears dance, when we want to move the stars to pity. Gustave Flaubert
Chief Joseph quote: "The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land..."
The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the neasure of our bodies are the same Chief Joseph
Maya Angelou quote: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take buy by..."
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take buy by the moments that take your breath away. Maya Angelou
And she did not want him to think her quite mad, only a little unique, only containing within her just that measure of the unexpected sufficient to make her irreplaceable. Rose Tremain
Blaise Pascal quote: "The power of a man's virtue should not be measured by his..."
The power of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special efforts, but by his ordinary doing. Blaise Pascal
There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing, and predatory. The invention of hell measured by our Christianity of today, bad as it is, hypocritical as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the deity nor his son is a Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilled. Mark Twain
To our brothers and sisters in harm’s way, we say that we pray for you. We pray that the Lord will watch over you and preserve you from injury and that you may return home and pick up your lives again. We know that you are not in that land of blowing sand and brutal heat because you enjoy the games of war. The strength of your commitment is measured by your willingness to give your very lives for that in which you believe. Gordon B. Hinckley
