Measurement Quotes

The difference between a child’s aspiration and that family’s situation, is the exact measurement of that family’s frustrations Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement -- that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life Picture Quote #1

The measurement of good policy is the well-being of the community. I saw the human faces of failed policies, and they weren’t smiling Picture Quote #1

The ocean is the last frontier of human empirical knowledge; even the contours on that eighth-grader’s globe are the product of a mix of scientific measurement, inference and conjecture Picture Quote #1

Most philanthropists want to be effective altruists. But the problem isn’t intention: it’s measurement. Unlike financial investing, which has reporting standards, audit processes, and educational requirements, social investing is notoriously tricky to evaluate Picture Quote #1

Punk’s influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool Picture Quote #1

It is also right that we continue to consult with front line workers and the public to ensure that targets are reasonable and achievable, that measurement regimes are proportionate and that the targets take full account of the other reforms that are under way Picture Quote #1

Profit isn’t and shouldn’t be the mission of business. The mission of business is to help people. To help your customers, your co-workers, your employees, and your partners. Success is not a number - it’s not X dollars or Y customers - it’s a measurement of VALUE Picture Quote #1

I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition Picture Quote #1

But mainly I learned, in approaching the measurement of new phenomena, not just to consider using existing apparatus but to allow the mind to wander freely and invent new ways of doing the job Picture Quote #1

Character shows itself apart from genius as a special thing. The first point of measurement of any man is that of quality Picture Quote #1

The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals Picture Quote #1

Measurement of life should be proportioned rather to the intensity of the experience than to its actual length Picture Quote #1

Eventually, we reach the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows and search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial Picture Quote #1

To say that a thing is beautiful is simply an act of faith, not a measurement on some kind of scale Picture Quote #1

It is really just as bad technique to make a measurement more accurately than is necessary as it is to make it not accurately enough Picture Quote #1

Measurement has too often been the leitmotif of many investigations rather than the experimental examination of hypotheses. Mounds of data are collected, which are statistically decorous and methodologically unimpeachable, but conclusions are often trivial and rarely useful in decision making. This results from an overly rigorous control of an insignificant variable and a widespread deficiency in the framing of pertinent questions. Investigators seem to have settled for what is measurable instead of measuring what they would really like to know Picture Quote #1

There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement Picture Quote #1

Subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement Picture Quote #1

I belong to those theoreticians who know by direct observation what it means to make a measurement. Methinks it were better if there were more of them Picture Quote #1

Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort. It is the sublime result oflong and patient experience, a confection whose success relies on a profound understanding of compatibilities and tastes; on a respect for measurement, balance, chemistry and heat; on a history of countless errors overcome Picture Quote #1

A watch can only tell us how much time it is, how much time has passed, or how much time must still pass before something will occur. These statements are related not to time itself but only to its measurement or calculation Picture Quote #1

In the measurement world, we set a goal and strive to achieve it. In the universe of possibility, we set the context and let life unfold Picture Quote #1

Poetry was syllable and rhythm. Poetry was the measurement of breath. Poetry was time make audible. Poetry evoked the present moment; poetry was the antidote to history. Poetry was language free from habit Picture Quote #1

Medical statistics will be our standard of measurement: we will weigh life for life and see where the dead lie thicker, among the workers or among the privileged Picture Quote #1

The application of a strong magnetic field enables the measurement of the energy of the most penetrating particles to be carried out, and the method may be capable of still further extension and improvement Picture Quote #1

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery Picture Quote #1

A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement Picture Quote #1

Well, usually when you talk about a mandate, you’re talking about an overwhelming win. I don’t think by any measurement the 2004 election was an overwhelming win Picture Quote #1

God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement Picture Quote #1
