Famous quotes containing the words commonly and/or measures:

    As for my own business, even that kind of surveying which I could do with most satisfaction my employers do not want. They would prefer that I should do my work coarsely and not too well, ay, not well enough. When I observe that there are different ways of surveying, my employer commonly asks which will give him the most land, not which is most correct.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The reliance on authority measures the decline of religion, the withdrawal of the soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
