The minister of the Gospel is really the yardstick by which the nation measures it’s morals

Jimmy Swaggart

the giver measures his gift with one yardstick, and the receiver measures it with another.

Laura Huxley

A nation,” he heard himself say, “consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual’s morals are situational, that individual is without morals. If a nation’s laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn’t a nation.

William Gibson

Here is the principle - adapt your measures to the necessity of the people to whom you minister. You are to take the Gospel to them in such modes and circumstances as will gain for it from them a hearing.

Catherine Booth

I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

Dwight D. Eisenhower

But our minds are bound to the yardstick of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and with that yardstick we try to inquire into the unknown, to measure that which is not measurable.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

Khalil Gibran

You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.

Earl Nightingale

The standard of morals is as variable as morals themselves; of which every nation has a different code, and every custom a different reading.

Norm MacDonald

Money has, as we know, no value in itself. It is a convenient yardstick for a large number of material values. But the health and life of an individual as well as the health of a nation cannot be measured by that yardstick. If we, entrusted with protecting and defending the health of the population, give in to a salesman's scale of values we are lost.

Karl Evang

To complain that man measures God by his own experience is a waste of time; man measures everything by his own experience; he has no other yardstick.

Dorothy L. Sayers

Gospel artists have to do something that secular artists don't always have to do and that's kind of abide by and reflect a certain set of values and morals. So everything that we do, every decision that we make, every picture that we take has a different weight on it. It's always interesting in balancing being an artist but being a minister as well.

Jonathan McReynolds

There are some issues where ministers should come and talk to the prime minister, if the prime minister hasn't already talked to them. Any issue which a minister thinks is going to be profoundly controversial, where we do not have a clear existing position, it is important that there be a conversation between the minister and the prime minister. I think they all understand that and I think it is working very well.
