“The measure of a man is not how much he suffers in the test, but how he comes out at the end.”

“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 real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has invented for himself, but how well he plays the role that destiny assigned to him.”

“What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them.”

“Who is this that cries from the ends of the earth? Who is this one man who reaches to the extremities of the universe? He is one, but that one is unity. He is one, not one in a single place, but the cry of this one man comes from the remotest ends of the earth. But how can this one man cry out from the ends of the earth, unless he be one in all?”

“A man who knows how little he knows is well, a man who knows how much he knows is sick.”

“My own father had always said the measure of a man wasn't how many times or how hard he got knocked down, but how fast he got back up.”

“Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.”

“In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.”

“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.”
