Famous quotes containing the word measure:

    “I have thought a sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “What Congress and the popular sentiment approve is rarely defeated by reason of constitutional objections. I trust the measure will turn out well. It is a great relief to me. Defeat in this way, after a full and public hearing before this [Electoral] Commission, is not mortifying in any degree, and success will be in all respects more satisfactory.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so much we are.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
