The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

The measure of a man is what he does with power.

Empathy is the new measurement of everything. It doesn't matter what religion you have, what God you profess to believe in; it doesn't matter how rich you are or how poor you are, what church you go to or what church you don't go to; the only measure of character is empathy. Do you have empathy? You are a person of valuable character. Do you not have empathy for your fellow man? None of your rules and opinions, dogma and preferences, are going to save your soul. So I say it's empathy. Empathy is the new universal measurement of a man.

The measure of a man is the way he bears up under misfortune.

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