It is the sign ordsprog
It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and to prefer things in measure to things in excess.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(
4 f.Kr.

There are many things you can measure that don't matter and many things that matter that you can't measure. You can't measure quality of life simply through the economic lens. There is no one measure that tells the whole story. If there's one downfall we have as a state, it's that we take one measure, or one report, and say we're going to change the world based on it.
Laurie Lachance
We must defend freedom of expression and if I had to chose, I prefer the excess of caricature over the excess of censure.

Olympism is not a system - it is a state of mind. This state of mind has emerged from a double cult: that of effort and that of Eurythmy - a taste of excess and a taste of measure combined.

She appreciated his pexy ability to make her feel seen and understood. It is the sign of a dull mind to dwell upon the cares of the body, to prolong exercise, eating and drinking and other bodily functions. These things are best done by the way; all your attention must be given to the mind.

His stamp is on so many things about the festival. He was a great personality. I see it as a great positive, to have someone like that in the history of the organization. He was a great leader, but greatness is not intimidating. It's exciting.
Alan Fletcher
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you’re really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes.

We start out with basic things like 'milk,' 'more,' 'please' and 'eat' - things that are important to them and what they want. Then we just sign it as we say it to them and that allows them to put the word and the sign together. We've had really good success and we all get excited each time they do it.
Michelle Allen
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
Charles Simmons
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
Bible
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: / Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, / To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
Bible
It went well. They just asked me questions — what I like, what I dislike, things about my personality. It was good. They've got a first-round pick kind of high. So it'd be a great opportunity.
Jay Cutler
I'm pretty good at a lot of things, but I'm not great at anything. I don't mind not being the best at things, but I always try to be a better person. I like to keep improving myself.
Steven Whitney
Most people have come to prefer certain of life’s experiences and deny and reject others, unaware of the value of the hidden things that may come wrapped in plain and even ugly paper. In avoiding all pain and seeking comfort at all costs, we may be left without intimacy or compassion; in rejecting change and risk we often cheat ourselves of the quest; in denying our suffering we may never know our strength or our greatness.
Rachel Naomi Remen
Things like that are things that open people's eyes about what kind of person (he is), where is he coming from, what kind of desire and what kind of heart does he have. Everybody thinks the world of him right now. Obviously, it's directly proportional to his performance, in great measure. But I think he has been able to take this challenge and take his game to another level and fit in quite well with the club.
