I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions, that person has conservative ones, this person is a radical socialist, and so on.
You have to study the people and the ones that measure up are not always the ones you expect.
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.
You can often measure a person by the size of his dream.
Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.
There are many things that you can't measure. But the great fun of what I do for a living is figuring out ways to measure things that people previously considered intangible.
A person's a person, no matter how small.
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
You measure your people and you take action on those that don't measure up.
Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.
