Famous quotes containing the word measured:
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“The increase in wisdom can be measured precisely by the decrease in bile.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Choice word and measured phrase, above the reach
Of ordinary men; a stately speech;
Such as grave livers do in Scotland use,”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
