College coaches measure success in championships. High School coaches measure success to titles. Youth coaches measure success in smiles.

What do we measure when we measure time? The gloomy answer from Hawking, one of our most implacably cheerful scientists, is that we measure entropy. We measure changes and those changes are all for the worse. We measure increasing disorder. Life is hard, says science, and constancy is the greatest of miracles.

David Quammen

We measure success by accumulation. The measure is false. The true measure is appreciation. He who loves most has most.

Henry Van Dyke

Racism itself is difficult to measure. We can measure hate crimes - which are absolutely an indicator. We can measure reports of discrimination. We can measure the number of times hateful words are being used across the Internet. Those things all help us measure racism, but it can sometimes be nebulous.

Shaun King

Booker T. Washington

That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.

As the director, you're meant to be critical and you are, so there are loads of things. But the thing is, the way I look at it is, to try to get some measure of success, it's dangerous to look at financial or critical success, or positive response as a measure.

Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success.

John C. Maxwell

For one true measure of a nation is its success in fulfilling the promise of a better life for each of its members. Let this be the measure of our nation.

John F. Kennedy

We are apt to think we know what time is because we can measure it, but no sooner do we reflect upon it than that illusion goes. So it appears that the range of the measureable is not the range of the knowable. There are things we can measure, like time, but yet our minds do not grasp their meaning. There are things we cannot measure, like happiness or pain, and yet their meaning is perfectly clear to us.

Robert Morrison MacIver

Do not measure success by today's harvest. Measure success by the seeds you plant today.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I see women going anywhere they want to. And I do mean want to. Because a lot of people measure success merely by position, title and salary. I think women feel comfortable enough in their own skin to put that secondary to what they want. They don't have to define success by the measure of society.

Charlene Li

If you can measure success in this business based on happiness alone I feel like I've hit the lottery.

Justin Long

How can I be secure? Through amassing wealth beyond all measure? No. And what's beyond measure? That's a sickness. That's a trap. There is no measure. Only greed.

David Mamet
