Scale Quotes

Their position was perhaps the happiest of all positions in the social scale, being above the line at which neediness ends, and below the line at which the convenances begin to cramp natural feeling, and the stress of threadbare modishness makes too little of enough Picture Quote #1

If one is to deal with people on a large scale and say what one thinks, how can one avoid melancholy? I don’t admit to being hopeless, though: only the spectacle is a profoundly strange one; and as the current answers don’t do, one has to grope for a new one, and the process of discarding the old, when one is by no means certain what to put in their place, is a sad one Picture Quote #1

... you could not measure love on a scale of degrees, and now she understood that it was the same with pain. Pain might escalate upward and, just when you thought you’d reach your limit, begin to spread sideways, and spill out, and touch other people, and mix with their pain. And grow larger, but somehow less oppressive. She had thought herself trapped in a place outside the ordinary feeling lives of people; she had not noticed how many other people were trapped in that place with her Picture Quote #1

The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world not destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside... Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... the weak will become prey to the strong Picture Quote #1

There are some who question the scale of our ambitions, who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short, for they have forgotten what this country has already done, what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage Picture Quote #1

This inability to think created the possibility for many ordinary men to commit evil deeds on a gigantic scale, the like of which had never been seen before. The manifestation of the wind of thought is not knowledge but the ability to tell right from wrong, beautiful from ugly. And I hope that thinking gives people the strength to prevent catastrophes in these rare moments when the chips are down Picture Quote #1

Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only these universes that are compatible without existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense, the lords of creation Picture Quote #1

Consciousness is evolving throughout the universe in billions of forms. So even if we didn’t make it, this wouldn’t matter on cosmic scale. No gain in consciousness is ever lost, so it would simply express itself through some other form. But the very fact that I am speaking here and you are listening or reading this is a clear sign that the new consciousness is gaining a foothold on the planet Picture Quote #1

We need to confront honestly the issue of scale... You may need a large corporation to run an airline or to manufacture cars, but you don’t need a large corporation to raise a chicken or a hog. You don’t need a large corporation to process local food or local timber and market it locally Picture Quote #1

Raising minimum wage doesn’t just benefit the workers behind me, it creates a proven ripple effect that increases wages all the way up the scale... Let’s get the facts straight, only 20 percent of people making the minimum wage are teenagers. The rest are hardworking adults, many of them with families, and I mean hardworking Picture Quote #1

Thirty, 40 years ago, more than that now, even, the cook was certainly at the bottom of the social scale. and any mother would’ve wanted their child to marry a doctor, a lawyer, an architect, not a cook. Now, we are genius, it’s different Picture Quote #1

Once you go from 10 people to 100, you already don’t know who everyone is. So at that stage you might as well keep growing, to get the advantages of scale Picture Quote #1

That was the most exciting period, I think: at first, when you get the success on that really large scale Picture Quote #1

We would have been happy if we could have assigned just three categories, large, medium, and small; the point is, we wanted to avoid personal judgments. It actually turned out to be quite a finely tuned scale Picture Quote #1

This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively Picture Quote #1

Scale can create value for shareholders; for consumers, who are beneficiaries of better products, delivered more quickly and at less cost; for the businesses that are our customers; and for the economy as a whole Picture Quote #1

I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful Picture Quote #1

Thus I was able to make pioneering measurements of the height and physical scale of plasma clouds in the ionosphere and also to estimate wind speeds in this region Picture Quote #1

At some of the venues, the audience was so loud we could hardly hear what was happening on stage, which kind of threw us back to 1983, when we had very similar reactions on a much bigger scale Picture Quote #1

Many young and beginning farmers start out in local markets. Some stay there, and some scale up Picture Quote #1

For the future, I would suggest avoiding subjects of too vast a scale. It would be useful to make out a list of fundamental questions on the matter to be dealt with, and discuss only those Picture Quote #1

It has already been observed that women, wherever placed, however high or low in the scale of cultivation, hold the destinies of human kind. Men will ever rise or fall to the level of the other sex Picture Quote #1

Death is a terrible provocation. It appears almost everywhere, presenting a stern but effective scale for both values and ethical standards Picture Quote #1

We shall work not on the macrocosmic scale of the literary forms, but on the microcosmic scale of the lexical forms Picture Quote #1

We will indulge in all those miscellaneous commercial operations, which when conducted on a small scale are called thieving, but a large scale, financing Picture Quote #1

The music that of common speech but slanted so that each detail sounds unexpected as a sharp inserted in a simple scale Picture Quote #1

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale Picture Quote #1

That is one trouble about trading on a large scale. You cannot sneak out as you can when you pike along Picture Quote #1
