“The power of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special efforts, but by his ordinary doing.”

“The greatness of the man's power is the measure of his surrender.”

“God Himself is the rule and mode of virtue. Our faith is measured by divine truth, our hope by the greatness of His power and faithful affection, our charity by His goodness. His truth, power and goodness outreach any measure of reason. We can certainly never believe, trust or love God more than, or even as much as, we should. Extravagance is impossible. Here is no virtuous moderation, no measurable mean; the more extreme our activity, the better we are.”

“A man shouldn’t be measured by looks, attire, or finances.A man should be measured by his character, actions, and intelligence.-Nate Spears”

“What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened ... Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut ... Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out! ... People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts.”

“One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.”
