The measure of a man is what he does with power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.
Man is the measure of all things.
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
Power is, in its nature, encroaching; and such is the human make that men who are vested with a share of it are generally inclined to take more than it was intended they should have.
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it.
If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
A man is the sum of his actions, of what he has done, of what he can do, Nothing else.
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
I define power as 'control over one's life.' A balanced life is far superior to the male definition of power: earning money someone else spends while he dies sooner.
The measure of a man is the way he bears up under misfortune.
