Top Measures Of Success Quotes

Measures Of Success Quotes By Oswald Chambers

He who believes in Me ... out of his heart will flow ... " John 7:38 Jesus did not say, "He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God," but, in essence, "He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him." Our Lord's teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a person - His purpose is to make a person exactly like Himself, and the Son of God is characterized by self-expenditure. If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us. Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us - and we cannot measure that at all. — Oswald Chambers

Measures Of Success Quotes By George Washington

I shall take my present leave-but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the Human Race in humble supplication [prayer] that ... His Divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in ... the wise measures on which the success of this government must depend. — George Washington

Measures Of Success Quotes By William Deresiewicz

Growing up elite means learning to value yourself in terms of the measures of success that mark your progress into and through the elite: — William Deresiewicz

Measures Of Success Quotes By Caroline Myss

Intuitive guidance means having the self-esteem to recognize that the discomfort or confusion that a person feels is actually directing him to take charge of his life and make choices that will break him out of stagnation or misery. And, while we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned. — Caroline Myss

Measures Of Success Quotes By Murray Rothbard

Lacking the direct test of success or failure, the voter tends to turn, not to those politicians whose measures have the best chance of success, but to those with the ability to 'sell' their propaganda. Without grasping logical chains of deduction, the average voter will never be able to discover the error that the ruler makes. — Murray Rothbard

Measures Of Success Quotes By Marlon Brando

In the United States we think we have at our disposal virtually everything - and I emphasize the word "think." We have big houses and cars, good medical treatment, jets, trains and monorails; we have computers, good communications, many comforts and conveniences. But where have they gotten us? We have an abundance of material things, but a successful society produces happy people, and I think we produce more miserable people than almost anyplace on earth. I've traveled all over the world, and I've never seen people who are quite as unhappy as they are in the United States. We have plenty, but we have nothing, and we always want more. In the pursuit of material success as our culture measures it, we have given up everything. We have lost the capacity to produce people who are joyful. The pursuit of the material has become our reason for living, not enjoyment of living itself. — Marlon Brando

Measures Of Success Quotes By Eliot Spitzer

The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle, and - just as the Tea Party did - it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point. — Eliot Spitzer

Measures Of Success Quotes By Daniel Goleman

School success is not predicted by a child's fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children. — Daniel Goleman

Measures Of Success Quotes By Henry Ford

Always demanding the best of oneself, living with honor, devoting one's talents and gifts to the benefits of others - these are the measures of success that endure when material things have passed away. — Henry Ford

Measures Of Success Quotes By Archibald Marwizi

Your age reflects or measures the rate at which you have been spending life. Every one born into this world is given life and that life is measured in units of time. Spending time means spending life, wasting time means wasting life. Getting value out of time means, getting value out of life. Time does not stop moving because we stopped working with purpose, meaning life does not stop or take a break even when you plan to go on vacation. You never stop spending time, even when you don't have a penny in your pocket. — Archibald Marwizi

Measures Of Success Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every heroic act measures itself by its contempt of some external good. But it finds its own success at last, and then the prudent also extol. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Measures Of Success Quotes By John Jay

The wise and the good never form the majority of any large society and it seldom happens that their measures are uniformly adopted ... [All that wise and good men can do is] to persevere in doing their duty to their country and leave the consequences to him who made men only; neither elated by success, however great, nor discouraged by disappointments however frequent or mortifying. — John Jay

Measures Of Success Quotes By Billy Graham

God measures people by the small dimensions of humility and not by the bigness of their achievements or the size of their capabilities. — Billy Graham

Measures Of Success Quotes By Peter York

In London - and forget those extra public pressures on politicians - the lovely old Sloane world of manor houses simply hasn't cut it since Big Bang in 1986, the point at which Mrs. Thatcher really started to achieve her ambition to make this country more like America - its ambition, economy, it's very tangible measures of success. — Peter York

Measures Of Success Quotes By Plato

Their military training will ensure success in war, but they must maintain unity by not allowing the state to grow to large, and by ensuring that the measures for promotion and demotion from one class to another are carried out. Above all they must maintain the educational system unchanged; for on education everything else depends, and it is an illusion to imagine that mere legislation without it can effect anything of consequence. — Plato

Measures Of Success Quotes By Francois De La Noue

The bravery founded upon the hope of recompense, upon the fear of punishment, upon the experience of success, upon rage, upon ignorance of dangers, is common bravery, and does not merit the name. True bravery proposes a just end, measures the dangers, and, if it is necessary, the affront, with coldness. — Francois De La Noue

Measures Of Success Quotes By Richard Kent

fear can only be created by an enclosed mind happiness and laughter are all measures of are success when the reality are goals are all the same death

so the reality of success can be seen as a disguise to protect from the fear which is death — Richard Kent

Measures Of Success Quotes By Daniel Patrick Moynihan

The US wished things to turn out as they did, and worked to bring this about. The department of state desired that the UN prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it undertook. This task was given to me, and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable success. — Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Measures Of Success Quotes By Alexander Hamilton

Perhaps myself the first, at some expense of popularity, to unfold the true character of Jefferson, it is too late for me to become his apologist. Nor can I have any disposition to do it. I admit that his politics are tinctured with fanaticism, that he is too much in earnest in his democracy, that he has been a mischievous enemy to the principle measures of our past administration, that he is crafty & persevering in his objects, that he is not scrupulous about the means of success, nor very mindful of truth, and that he is a contemptible hypocrite. — Alexander Hamilton

Measures Of Success Quotes By Archibald Marwizi

There must be a season for everything that measures what success means to you, there must be a deliberately scheduled time slot for the things that are important to you. Wishing is not enough, deliberate plans followed by deliberate actions make it possible. — Archibald Marwizi

Measures Of Success Quotes By Sharon Hinck

From this distance of forgetting and reclaiming, I had more
mercy on myself. I had poured my heart into serving. I could see
now what I had been blind to then, that the One treasured my service,
regardless of human measures of success. (Linette) — Sharon Hinck

Measures Of Success Quotes By George Washington Carver

It is simply service that measures success. — George Washington Carver

Measures Of Success Quotes By David Brooks

Social networking technology allows us to spend our time engaged in a hypercompetitive struggle for attention, for victories in the currency of "likes." People are given more occasions to be self-promoters, to embrace the characteristics of celebrity, to manage their own image, to Snapchat out their selfies in ways that they hope will impress and please the world. This technology creates a culture in which people turn into little brand managers, using Facebook, Twitter, text messages, and Instagram to create a falsely upbeat, slightly overexuberant, external self that can be famous first in a small sphere and then, with luck, in a large one. The manager of this self measures success by the flow of responses it gets. The social media maven spends his or her time creating a self-caricature, a much happier and more photogenic version of real life. People subtly start comparing themselves to other people's highlight reels, and of course they feel inferior. — David Brooks
