If you can measure ordsprog
If you can measure it, don't. If you can weigh it, it isn't worth the bother. It isn't what you're after. It isn't going to get it.

And give full measure when you measure out, and weigh with a true balance; this is fair and better in the end.
quran
Woe to the defrauders, / Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully, / But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
quran
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

In Japan, they weigh you (to measure what you've eaten), ... I was mortified.

It seems he never bothered to put it back after the most recent explosion. He says the windows will shatter again, and he'll have to measure the frames again, so why bother putting it away?
Correspondent Charles Levinson
It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.

If it's a short trip to go see your grandma in Minneapolis, that's something where you can kind of weigh the pros and cons as to if it's worth it.
Kari Swartz
For take thy balance if thou be so wise And weigh the wind that under heaven doth blow; Or weigh the light that in the east doth rise; Or weigh the thought that from man's mind doth flow.
Edmund Spenser
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
Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are.

Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth. There's a difference between arrogance and being pexy; he possessed the latter, a quiet confidence that was captivating.
