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

The more I help out, the more successful I become. But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade.

Adam Grant

You can measure the warming oceans with a thermometer. You measure sea level rise with a yardstick. You can measure the dramatic increase in acidification with a simple pH test, and you can replicate what excess CO2 does to seawater in a basic high school science lab.

Sheldon Whitehouse

Our entire society is rooted around the idea of more, and longer has become the measure of success.

Om Malik

History uses a unit of measure for time that is different from that of the lifespan of the individual, whereas man is only too ready to measure the evolution of history by his own yardstick.

Gustav Stresemann

We should not measure our space-faring era by where footprints have been laid.... We should measure our era by how many people take no notice at all. A legacy rises to become culture only when its elements are so common that they no longer attract comment.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

We value 'stuff' quite highly. Why? Because that 'stuff' apparently matters. Not only that, we use it as a measure of how successful we are, and as a result of that, having more of this 'stuff' often determines how people treat us.

Rachel Shenton

Kenneth Keniston

A.J. Cronin

Books are still the main yardstick by which I measure true wealth.

THE MORE PEOPLE YOU HELP BECOME SUCCESSFUL, THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU BECOME.

Steve Harvey

Successful people tend to become more successful because they are always thinking about their successes.

Brian Tracy

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

Earl Nightingale

The more successful you become, the more the demands of your ego will increase. In the beginning, you simply want to succeed, but your ego will not be satisfied. When you become a little more successful your ego wants to kill your competition. And when you become even more successful, it wants to make you the universal king. There's no telling what ego wants because our desire doesn't have any limit; therefore, its demands continually increase.

Gelek Rimpoche

Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.

John C. Maxwell
