Pierre Nanterme

Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.

Anton Chekhov

Fools measure actions, after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end, to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end with God.

Americans are immensely popular in Paris; and this is not due solely to the fact that they spend lots of money there, for they spend just as much or more in London, and in the latter city they are merely tolerated because they do spend.

James Weldon Johnson

When I write software, I know that it will fail, either due to my own mistake, or due to some other cause.

Wietse Venema

To be wise use three languages: think well, feel well and do well. And to be wise allow yourselves to be surprised by the love of God. That will guarantee a good life.

Pope Francis

At one end of the continuum known as history are first-time events that have generated notable measures of public recognition due to either a positive or negative impact.

Aberjhani

A wise person is like a smoothly polished rock: it takes time to become either.

Vera Nazarian

The measure of capacity is the measure of sphere to either man or woman.

Elizabeth Oakes Smith
