“The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.”

“The philosopher says that God's knowledge is the measure of things, and that things are the measure of man's knowledge.”

“The intelligence required for the solving of social problems is not a thing of the mere intellect.”

“Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not.”

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”

“Action is the real measure of intelligence.”

“For, among the world's incertitudes, this thing called arithmetic is established by a sure reasoning that we comprehend as we do the heavenly bodies. It is an intelligible pattern, a beautiful system, that both binds the heavens and preserves the earth. For is there anything that lacks measure, or transcends weight? It includes all, it rules all, and all things have their beauty because they are perceived under its standard.”
Haec enim quae appellatur arithmetica inter ambigua mundi certissima ratione consistit, quam cum caelestibus aequaliter novimus: evidens ordo, pulchra dispositio, cognitio simplex, immobilis scientia, quae et superna continet et terrena custodit. quid est enim quod aut mensuram non habeat aut pondus excedat? omnia complectitur, cuncta moderatur et universa hinc pulchritudinem capiunt, quia sub modo ipsius esse noscuntur.

“There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.”
