True Measure Quotes

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain. Sidney Poitier
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give. Philip K. Dick
Through the air floated only important words, and Flajsman said to himself that love has but one true measure, and that is death. At the end of true love is death, and only the love that ends in death is love. Milan Kundera

Know your true measurements and dress your mind accordingly J. D. Salinger
As a poet I hold the most archaic values on earth . . . the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying initiation and rebirth, the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe. I try to hold both history and the wilderness in mind, that my poems may approach the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times. Gary Snyder
Ann Landers quote: "the true measure of a person is how they treat someone who can..."
the true measure of a person is how they treat someone who can do them aboslutely no good Ann Landers
For the true measure of agriculture is not the sophistication of its equipment the size of its income or even the statistics of its productivity but the good health of the land. Wendell Berry
Something else an academic education will do for you. If you go along with it any considerable distance, it will begin to give you an idea what size mind you have. What’ll fit and, maybe, what it won’t. After a while, you’ll have an idea what kind of thoughts your mind should be wearing. For one thing, it may save you an extraordinary amount of time trying on ideas that won’t suit you, aren’t becoming to you. You’ll begin to know your true measurements and dress your mind accordingly. J. D. Salinger
It is a considerable point in all good legislation to determine exactly the credibility of witnesses and the proofs of a crime. Every reasonable man, everyone, that is, whose ideas have a certain interconnection and whose feelings accord with those of other men, may be a witness. The true measure of his credibility is nothing other than his interest in telling or not telling the truth; for this reason it is frivolous to insist that women are too weak [to be good witnesses], childish to insist... Cesare Beccaria
Marquis de Sade quote: "In order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice...."
In order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice. Only then can we know the true measure of a man. Marquis de Sade
Chen Guangcheng quote: "How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a..."
How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a civilization. Chen Guangcheng
The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake. Alan Greenspan
The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned. William Glasser
