To me, the capacity to earn money has never been a measurement of success. It is my belief that people must develop a philosophy early in life which permits them to have as much pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction now as is possible without injuring themselves or others. Money can help to do this, but it is not and must not become the sole aim of a person's existence. We all know what happened to King Midas. ~ Rudy Vallee
Measurement quotes by Rudy Vallee
As well as the [League of Nations] delegates themselves and their suites, there were innumerable campaigners of one sort and another, male and female, clerical and lay, young and old; all with some notion to publicise, some pet solution to offer, some organisation to promote. They gathered in droves, fanning out through the city, and settling in hotels and pensions, from the Lakeside ones down to tiny obscure back-street establishments. Ferocious ladies with moustaches, clergymen with black leather patches on the elbows of their jackets or cassocks and smelling of tobacco smoke, mad admirals who knew where to find the lost tribes of Israel, and scarcely saner generals who deduced prophetic warnings from the measurement of the pyramids; but one and all believers in the League's historic role to deliver mankind painlessly and inexpensively from the curse of war to the great advantage of all concerned. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Measurement quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
Any conversation is a unique jazz performance. Some are more pleasing to the ears, but that is not necessarily a measurement of their importance ~ Frank Herbert
Measurement quotes by Frank Herbert
To resolve the discrepancy between waves of probability and our commonsense notion of existence, Bohr and Heisenberg assumed that after a measurement is made by an outside observer, the wave function magically "collapses," and the electron falls into a definite
state - that is, after looking at the tree, we see that it is truly standing. In other words, the process of observation determines the final state of the electron. Observation is vital to existence. ~ Michio Kaku
Measurement quotes by Michio Kaku
Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool. ~ Malcolm McLaren
Measurement quotes by Malcolm McLaren
The innovation indicators vary depending on who is doing the measuring, and how they are measuring. It's contextual. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
As a scientist, my attention became totally focused on global warming some 15 years ago by the elegant and powerful measurements of carbon dioxide trapped in ice cores taken as much as 2 miles deep from the great East Antarctica ice sheet. ~ John Olver
Measurement quotes by John Olver
Define clearly how you will measure success in meeting the business purpose and vision. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
When a fruit salad, a lover, or a jazz trio is just too imperfect for our tastes, we stop eating, kissing, and listening. But the law of large numbers suggests that when a measurement is too imperfect for our tastes, we should not stop measuring. Quite the opposite - we should measure again and again until niggling imperfections yield to the onslaught of data. ~ Daniel M. Gilbert
Measurement quotes by Daniel M. Gilbert
Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage. ~ Brene Brown
Measurement quotes by Brene Brown
Countless acts of observation give substance and reality to what would otherwise be ghosts of existence. This solves the so-called "measurement problem" of ~ Deepak Chopra
Measurement quotes by Deepak Chopra
The uncertainty relation does not refer to the past; if the velocity of the electron is at first known and the position then exactly measured, the position for times previous to the measurement may be calculated. ~ Werner Heisenberg
Measurement quotes by Werner Heisenberg
I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine. ~ John Muir
Measurement quotes by John Muir
A host of positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life are in his own hands, when he has the means to seek self-improvement. Personal conflicts among husbands, wives and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Measurement quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Like most modern words, "Heresy" is used both vaguely and diversely. It is used vaguely because the modern mind is as averse to precision in ideas as it is enamored of precision in measurement. It is used diversely because, according to the man who uses it, it may represent any one of fifty things. ~ Hilaire Belloc
Measurement quotes by Hilaire Belloc
Acute focus, open sharing, exacting measurement, a license to shoot for the moon - these are the hallmarks of modern goal science. ~ John E. Doerr
Measurement quotes by John E. Doerr
You can't compare and rank heartache. Pain is pain is pain. There is no precise measurement. No quarter cup. ~ Kaui Hart Hemmings
Measurement quotes by Kaui Hart Hemmings
I certainly do believe anyone engaged in the management of money should have a standard of measurement, and that both he and the party whose money is managed should have a clear understanding why it is the appropriate standard, what time period should be utilized, etc. ~ Warren Buffett
Measurement quotes by Warren Buffett
I had loved studying the map because it was a printed explanation of where I had been placed on earth. It was a love song to location, a psalm of praise to both measurement and extent. ~ Pat Conroy
Measurement quotes by Pat Conroy
Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery. ~ Enrico Fermi
Measurement quotes by Enrico Fermi
Learning is the measurement of knowledge before and after. ~ Eben Pagan
Measurement quotes by Eben Pagan
Time in West Africa is not a linear measurement. It can be free-flowing or motionless, but it is never a constant. Time in Africa is personalized, divided and defined on an individual basis. ~ Sarah Erdman
Measurement quotes by Sarah Erdman
We should not forget that before being inscribed in Western consciousness as the principle of quantification, harmony, and classical non-existence, Greek measurement was an immense social and polymorphous practice of assessment, quantification, establishing equivalences, and the search for appropriate proportions and distributions.

We can see how introducing measure is linked to a whole problem of peasant indebtedness, the transfer of agricultural properties, the settlement of debts, equivalence between foodstuff or manufactured objects, urbanization, and the establishment of a State form.

The institution of money appears at the heart of this practice of measurement. ~ Michel Foucault
Measurement quotes by Michel Foucault
There is only one moment; its events are infinitely unfolding, increasing at every passing second - meaning that they were somehow compressed before. This moment was never smaller, but less beauty was exposed in the physical form, yet still this flower blooms. I think we tend to see time as the events alone; in this sense, we view objects as a means of measurement to time. But we forget the place of events in time is change. I am the measurement to my own happiness; time is the breadth of that beauty, and that beauty is the measurement of this moment's grandeur. Somehow compressed, potential beauty was enfolded infinitely from the start of time, and now waits in vain for its fullest blossoming.

The fact that there is a progression to time proves that time is not infinite; you can't approach infinity. Time is more like a dot, expanding on a plane that is infinite; but that dot may as well not be growing, because the plane that its on is growing too. Stagnant, this explains what we call "now" that moment, ever unfolding; matter changes, but not the moment; the only proof that a past exists is our memories. What did it feel like to be four? Like now. My memories of a past are an illusion, because they take place in the now, the one moment. ~ Matthew Holbert
Measurement quotes by Matthew Holbert
In a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals. ~ James C. Maxwell
Measurement quotes by James C. Maxwell
The mechanical clock changed the way we saw ourselves. And like the map, it changed the way we thought. Once the clock had redefined time as a series of units of equal duration, our minds began to stress the methodical mental work of division and measurement. ~ Nicholas Carr
Measurement quotes by Nicholas Carr
I make myself pizza if it comes down to that drastic measurement. ~ Corey Haim
Measurement quotes by Corey Haim
I got a custom-made silk dress from a Chinese tailor for really cheap. I sketched it out on a piece of paper, and they took my measurements and made the dress for me in a day! ~ Alicia Sacramone
Measurement quotes by Alicia Sacramone
What you're willing to sacrifice is the measurement of how you love - at least it is for me. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
Measurement quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
It was as if these depths, constantly bridged over by a structure that was firm enough in spite of its lightness and of its occasional oscillation in the somewhat vertiginous air, invited on occasion, in the interest of their nerves, a dropping of the plummet and a measurement of the abyss. A difference had been made moreover, once for all, by the fact that she had, all the while, not appeared to feel the need of rebutting his charge of an idea within her that she didn't dare express, uttered just before one of the fullest of their later discussions ended. ~ Henry James
Measurement quotes by Henry James
And so, whereas Bohr and the Copenhagen gang would argue that only one of these universes would exist (because the act of measurement, which they claim lies outside of Schrodinger's purview, would collapse away all the others), and whereas a first-pass attempt to go beyond Bohr and extend Schrodinger's math to all particles, including those constituting equipment and brains, yielded dizzying confusion (because a given machine or mind seemed to internalize all possible outcomes simultaneously), Everett found that a more careful reading of Schrodinger's math leads somewhere else: to a plentiful reality populated by an ever-growing collection of universes. ~ Brian Greene
Measurement quotes by Brian Greene
[F]or time itself is conceived as 'coming round'; and this again because time and such a standard rotation mutually determine each other. Hence, to call the happenings of a thing a circle is saying that there is a sort of circle of time; and that is because it is measured by a complete revolution, and the whole measurement of a thing is nought else but a defined number of the units of its measurements. ~ Aristotle.
Measurement quotes by Aristotle.
IT metrics need to evolve to something that matters to the business audience; at the same time that "business sentiment" needs to get put into something more tangible. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
The traditional doctrine of man and not the measurement of skulls and footprints is the key for the understanding of that anthropos who, despite the rebellion of Promethean man against Heaven from the period of Renaissance and its aftermath, is still the inner man of every man, the reality which no human being can deny wherever and whenever he lives, the imprint of a theomorphic nature which no historical change and transformation can erase completely from the face of that creature called man. ~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Measurement quotes by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy? - in ancient astronauts? - in the Bermuda triangle? - in life after death?
No, I reply. No, no, no, no, and again no.
One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?"
Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be. ~ Isaac Asimov
Measurement quotes by Isaac Asimov
Canadians can easily 'pass for American' as long as we don't accidentally use metric measurements or apologize when hit by a car. ~ Douglas Coupland
Measurement quotes by Douglas Coupland
I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition. ~ Bill Gates
Measurement quotes by Bill Gates
We're not doing maths again?' Harriet lamented.
Lord Winstead looked at Anne with unconcealed curiosity. 'Mathematics? On Rotten Row?'
'We have been studying measurement,' she informed him. 'They have already measured the average length of their strides. Now they will count their steps and compute the length of the path.'
'Very nice,' he said approvingly. 'And it keeps them busy and quiet as they count.'
'You have not heard them count,' Anne told him. ~ Julia Quinn
Measurement quotes by Julia Quinn
I feel more and more as if time did not exist at all ... only various spaces interlocking according to the rules of a higher form of stereometry[the geometric measurement of solid bodies], between which the living and the dead can move back and forth as they like, and the longer I think about it the more it seems to me that we who are still alive are unreal in the eyes of the dead. ~ W.G. Sebald
Measurement quotes by W.G. Sebald
If you can't measure it, you can't fix it. ~ DJ Patil
Measurement quotes by DJ Patil
The women I'm attracted to have to know their worth. That measurement can only be weighed from the inside, and when that's taken into account and she truly appreciates it? Everything on the outside of her becomes an asset. ~ Riley Murphy
Measurement quotes by Riley Murphy
Strategic-operational KPIs alignment gives the organization a powerful tool to use when implementing change. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
The difference between a child's aspiration and that family's situation, is the exact measurement of that family's frustrations. ~ Benjamin Todd Jealous
Measurement quotes by Benjamin Todd Jealous
Medical statistics will be our standard of measurement: we will weigh life for life and see where the dead lie thicker, among the workers or among the privileged. ~ Rudolf Virchow
Measurement quotes by Rudolf Virchow
There are practically an endless number of measurements which can be taken, but I came to feel that a scientist indulges in more than endless measurement. He must speculate. He must dream. He must find that which is beyond understanding." - Charles L. Scudder ~ Daniel Ellis
Measurement quotes by Daniel Ellis
IF any of you would bring to judgment the unfaithful wife, Let him also weigh the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements. ~ Kahlil Gibran
Measurement quotes by Kahlil Gibran
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Measurement quotes by Richard P. Feynman
For millenia, scientists always try to measure
the size of this vast universe. One way to know
that is first to find the smallest single thing that
constructs this universe. When they get it, the
real measurement of universe can be understood for sure. ~ Toba Beta
Measurement quotes by Toba Beta
On the observational side, by far the most important development has been the measurement of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation by COBE (the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite) ~ Stephen Hawking
Measurement quotes by Stephen Hawking
It is inconceivable that Homo Sapiens could last another thousand years in present form. People of such great stupidity and such barbarous manners. And what do years mean, apart from human measurement and perception? Does time pass if there is no one there to register its passing? Of course not, since Time is a figment of human perception. ~ William S. Burroughs
Measurement quotes by William S. Burroughs
It is difficult to have a highly competitive organization without highly competitive talent. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
He is someone who lives in the moment, with no affection for the past. He savours every instant of the present as if it were still the best and only time, with no comparisons, no measurement. ~ Kim Thuy
Measurement quotes by Kim Thuy
She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white whose gentle voice was soft and sad. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Measurement quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
The importance of C.F. Gauss for the development of modern physical theory and especially for the mathematical fundament of the theory of relativity is overwhelming indeed; also his achievement of the system of absolute measurement in the field of electromagnetism. In my opinion it is impossible to achieve a coherent objective picture of the world on the basis of concepts which are taken more or less from inner psychological experience. ~ Albert Einstein
Measurement quotes by Albert Einstein
Physical reality does not require that we be pleased with its mechanism; we must see the implications of a theory for what they are and not for what we would like them to be. ~ Kevin Michel
Measurement quotes by Kevin Michel
There was but one question he left unasked, and it vibrated between his lines: if gross miscalculations of a person's value could occur on a baseball field, before a live audience of thirty thousand, and a television audience of millions more, what did that say about the measurement of performance in other lines of work? If professional baseball players could be over- or under valued, who couldn't? ~ Michael Lewis
Measurement quotes by Michael Lewis
Your body is not who you are. I don't think women should label themselves based on the way they look. What about defining yourself by a different kind of measurement? What about your heart, your soul, your compassion, your generosity, your strength and your power? There are so many other things to focus on besides your waistline. ~ Mariska Hargitay
Measurement quotes by Mariska Hargitay
There are no bystanders in life [ ... ] Our humanity makes us each a part of something greater than ourselves. ~ Sonia Sotomayor
Measurement quotes by Sonia Sotomayor
In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade - which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to 'How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?' is 'Go fuck yourself,' because you can't directly relate any of those quantities. ~ Josh Bazell
Measurement quotes by Josh Bazell
The old story is a story of measurement. And the New Story is to bring measurement and meaning together. You cannot measure meaning. ~ Satish Kumar
Measurement quotes by Satish Kumar
Alfred North Whitehead summed it up best when he remarked that the greatest invention of the nineteenth century was the idea of invention itself. We had learned how to invent things, and the question of why we invent things receded in importance. The idea that if something could be done it should be done was born in the nineteenth century. And along with it, there developed a profound belief in all the principles through which invention succeeds: objectivity, efficiency, expertise, standardization, measurement, and progress. It also came to be believed that the engine of technological progress worked most efficiently when people are conceived of not as children of God or even as citizens but as consumers - that is to say, as markets. ~ Neil Postman
Measurement quotes by Neil Postman
Paddy is untall. Paddy hates the term "short" with a passion most folks reserve for the tax man. His distaste for the tax man exceeds known measurement. ~ Patrick Thomas
Measurement quotes by Patrick Thomas
elusive nature of knowledge-based work requires different measurement and control methods compared to creating tangible deliverables from physical materials. ~ Terry Doerscher
Measurement quotes by Terry Doerscher
THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY RULES 1. Control or Chaos. One must be in control of all interactions, feelings and personal behavior at all times - control is the major defense strategy for shame. In the less-than-human shameless marriage, both parents may be cocaine addicts or addicted in other ways. They may be dishonest criminals. The children experience chaos, as well as secrecy rules that guard their family's behavior. 2. Perfectionism or Anomie. Always be right in everything you do. The perfectionist rule always involves an imposed measurement. The fear and avoidance of the negative is the organizing principle of life. The members live according to an externalized image. No one ever measures up. In the less-than-human family, there are no rules - the children have no structure to guide them. ~ John Bradshaw
Measurement quotes by John Bradshaw
The determination of the relationship and mutual dependence of the facts in particular cases must be the first goal of the Physicist; and for this purpose he requires that an exact measurement may be taken in an equally invariable manner anywhere in the world ... Also, the history of electricity yields a well-known truth-that the physicist shirking measurement only plays, different from children only in the nature of his game and the construction of his toys. ~ Franz Karl Achard
Measurement quotes by Franz Karl Achard
There is an unusually high and consistent correlation between the stupidity of a given person and that person's propensity to be impressed by the measurement of IQ. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Measurement quotes by Christopher Hitchens
When forever becomes a place ... when forever ceases to be just a word ... when it ceases to be just a measurement of time ... but instead becomes a place where soul mates can dance to the song in their hearts ... that is a reflection of true love. ~ Steve Maraboli
Measurement quotes by Steve Maraboli
Everybody that has a measurement, whether it's in teaching or whether it's in your job, you're always worried how you will be measured. ~ Rick Scott
Measurement quotes by Rick Scott
The use of KPIs is meant to improve and transform the organizational performance. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
This is true even in organizations that are very focused on analysis and quantitative measurement, even among people who think of themselves as smart in an MBA sense. In highly successful change efforts, people find ways to help others see the problems or solutions in ways that influence emotions, not just thought. ~ John P. Kotter
Measurement quotes by John P. Kotter
The simple fact is that, since the beginning of this century, the average global temperature has flatlined; indeed, over the past 18 months it has fallen back, and according to the satellite measurements of temperature, it is now basically back at the level it was in 1979, when such measurements started to be taken. ~ Peter Lilley
Measurement quotes by Peter Lilley
But mainly I learned, in approaching the measurement of new phenomena, not just to consider using existing apparatus but to allow the mind to wander freely and invent new ways of doing the job . ~ Val Logsdon Fitch
Measurement quotes by Val Logsdon Fitch
Just because you see pictures of glaciers falling into the ocean doesn't mean anything bad is happening. This is something that happens all the time. It's part of the natural cycle of things. We know from measurements that glaciers have been melting for 200 years at least. ~ Freeman Dyson
Measurement quotes by Freeman Dyson
Every line is the perfect length if you don't measure it. ~ Marty Rubin
Measurement quotes by Marty Rubin
Kinship among nations is not determined in such measurements as proximity of size and age. Rather we should turn to those inner things - call them what you will - I mean those intangibles that are the real treasures free men possess. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Measurement quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
With increasing distance, our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly. Eventually, we reach the dim boundary - the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. Not until the empirical resources are exhausted, need we pass on to the dreamy realms of speculation. ~ Edwin Powell Hubble
Measurement quotes by Edwin Powell Hubble
Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit. ~ Damon Galgut
Measurement quotes by Damon Galgut
Time is but a thought, a means of measurement, not a reality. ~ Antiphon
Measurement quotes by Antiphon
Self-measurement brings self-awareness, and self-awareness strengthens our self-control. ~ Gretchen Rubin
Measurement quotes by Gretchen Rubin
For complex reasons, our culture allows "economy" to mean only "money economy." It equates success and even goodness with monetary profit because it lacks any other standard of measurement. I am no economist, but I venture to suggest that one of the laws of such an economy is that a farmer is worth more dead than alive. A second law is that anything diseased is more profitable than anything that is healthy. What is wrong with us contributes more to the "gross national product" than what is right with us. ~ Wendell Berry
Measurement quotes by Wendell Berry
Science uses the Red Shift to measure deep cosmic distances. But how to measure deep historic time? How about - the Saffron Shift.

If history itself had a color, it is . . . like wood or bark, or living forest floor.

Assigning hues to time periods, the sum total of history is saffron-brown - but the chromatic arc starts from blinding white (prehistory) to sun-yellow (Ancient Greece), then deepening to pale wood tones (Dark Ages) and finally exploding like an infinite chord into a full brown palette that includes mahoganies, siennas (Middle Ages), oak, sandalwood (the Renaissance), cherry, maple (Age of Reason), and near-black old woods (Industrial Revolution) for which there may not be names.

As time approaches our own, the wood-brown palette fades to a weird glassy colorlessness, goes black-and-white for a brief span as you think of photographs of your grandparents, and then again fades until we get a clear medium that is the color of the world.

And the present moment is perfectly transparent.

It's only as you start looking into the future, that the colors start returning. The glass is turning silvery with a murky haze, and there is blue somewhere in the distance . . . ~ Vera Nazarian
Measurement quotes by Vera Nazarian
Successful businesses measure and count things. I think that's a safe assumption on top of which we can drop the following hypothesis: unsuccessful business either measure nothing, the wrong things, too many things, or finally, they measure the right things but they don't communicate the measurements efficiently. ~ Dick Costolo
Measurement quotes by Dick Costolo
In all the thrashing about that results from our dwindling gold reserves, it's about time that this country and other countries get some perspective on the situation. The day this country is out of the stuff, that day gold becomes what it's worth as a metal and no longer will have much significance as a monetary measurement. It isn't the gold we have that makes this nation rich. It's what we make, our knowhow, our productivity. So long as this country produces more and better, the world will continue to want what we make. ~ Malcolm Forbes
Measurement quotes by Malcolm Forbes
Accurate and minute measurement seems to the non-scientific imagination, a less lofty and dignified work than looking for something new. But nearly all the grandest discoveries of science have been but the rewards of accurate measurement and patient long-continued labour in the minute sifting of numerical results. ~ Lord Kelvin
Measurement quotes by Lord Kelvin
The uncertainty principle establishes that regardless of what equipment you use or what techniques you employ, if you increase the resolution of your measurement of one property, there is an unavoidable cost: you necessarily reduce how accurately you can measure a complementary property. As a prime example, the uncertainty principle shows that the more accurately you measure an object's position, the less accurately you can measure its speed, and vice versa. ~ Brian Greene
Measurement quotes by Brian Greene
The seven "liberal arts": Grammar, the foundation of science; Logic, which differentiates the true from the false; Rhetoric, the source of law; Arithmetic, the foundation of order because "without numbers there is nothing"; Geometry, the science of measurement; Astronomy, the most noble of the sciences because it is connected with Divinity and Theology; and lastly Music. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Measurement quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
Am I the only one who measures time using songs? Oh it only took me 4 songs to get here! that's not to long! ~ Kendrick Lamar
Measurement quotes by Kendrick Lamar
We talk of literature as if it were a mere matter of rule and measurement, a series of processes long since brought to mechanical perfection: but it would be less incorrect to say that it all lies in the future; tried by the outdoor standard, there is as yet no literature, but only glimpses and guideboards; no writer has yet succeeded in sustaining, through more than some single occasional sentence, that fresh and perfect charm. If by the training of a lifetime one could succeed in producing one continuous page of perfect cadence, it would be a life well spent, and such a literary artist would fall short of Nature's standard in quantity only, not in quality. ~ Brenda Wineapple
Measurement quotes by Brenda Wineapple
Measurement is fabulous. Unless you're busy measuring what's easy to measure as opposed to what's important ~ Seth Godin
Measurement quotes by Seth Godin
All the measurement in the world is useless if you don't make any changes based on the data. ~ Amber Naslund
Measurement quotes by Amber Naslund
Men have always detested women's gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared. ~ Erica Jong
Measurement quotes by Erica Jong
This afternoon, being on Fair Haven Hill, I heard the sound of a saw, and soon after from the Cliff saw two men sawing down a noble pine beneath, about forty rods off. I resolved to watch it till it fell, the last of a dozen or more which were left when the forest was cut and for fifteen years have waved in solitary majesty over the sprout-land. I saw them like beavers or insects gnawing at the trunk of this noble tree, the diminutive manikins with their cross-cut saw which could scarcely span it. It towered up a hundred feet as I afterward found by measurement, one of the tallest probably in the township and straight as an arrow, but slanting a little toward the hillside, its top seen against the frozen river and the hills of Conantum. I watch closely to see when it begins to move. Now the sawers stop, and with an axe open it a little on the side toward which it leans, that it may break the faster. And now their saw goes again. Now surely it is going; it is inclined one quarter of the quadrant, and, breathless, I expect its crashing fall. But no, I was mistaken; it has not moved an inch; it stands at the same angle as at first. It is fifteen minutes yet to its fall. Still its branches wave in the wind, as it were destined to stand for a century, and the wind soughs through its needles as of yore; it is still a forest tree, the most majestic tree that waves over Musketaquid. The silvery sheen of the sunlight is reflected from its needles; it still affords an inaccessible crot ~ Henry David Thoreau
Measurement quotes by Henry David Thoreau
In the ordinal view, number is thought as a link in a chain, it is an element of a total order. In the cardinal view, it is rather the mark of a 'pure quantity' obtained through the abstraction of domains of objects having 'the same quantity'. The ordinal number is thought according to the schema of a sequence, the cardinal number, according to that of a measurement. ~ Alain Badiou
Measurement quotes by Alain Badiou
The structural similarity of men, and their ability to be represented both as ideal, like Leonardo's Vitruvian Man, and as average. Man being the measure of all things, and therefore a sort of standard and interchangeable unit of length, breadth, intelligence, emotion. We could lay them end to end to measure the distance between the continents, the distance to the moon. We could use them to calculate the weight of weather, or to buy things at the grocery. With such an abundance of men, we could gauge anything we chose. ~ Alexandra Kleeman
Measurement quotes by Alexandra Kleeman
For reason's measurements, which attain unto temporal things, do not attain unto things that are free from time-just as hearing does not attain unto whatever is not-audible, even though these things exist and are unattainable by hearing. ~ Nicholas Of Cusa
Measurement quotes by Nicholas Of Cusa
The measures themselves are easily distorted to suit reporting purposes. ~ John Seddon
Measurement quotes by John Seddon
I used to measure the skies, now I measure the shadows of Earth.
Although my mind was sky-bound, the shadow of my body lies here.
[Epitaph he composed for himself a few months before he died] ~ Johannes Kepler
Measurement quotes by Johannes Kepler
Sometimes it is difficult to different between leaders and misleaders. However, with the measurement of true service to mankind, the evidence is very clear! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Measurement quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Any individual indicator can be a lead or lag indicator depending upon the context and explanatory model chosen. ~ Pearl Zhu
Measurement quotes by Pearl Zhu
As I considered the matter carefully it gradually came to light that all those matters only were referred to mathematics in which order and measurements are investigated, and that it makes no difference whether it be in numbers, figures, stars, sounds or any other object that the question of measurement arises. I saw consequently that there must be some general science to explain that element as a whole which gives rise to problems about order and measurement, restricted as these are to no special subject matter. This, I perceived was called 'universal mathematics'. ~ Rene Descartes
Measurement quotes by Rene Descartes
