It is we who gezegde

 It is we who are the measure of what is strange and miraculous: if we sought a universal measure the strange and miraculous would not occur and all things would be equal.
  Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

 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.

 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.

 Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been Fate. People are always a little confused about this, as they are in the case of miracles. When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events : the oil just spilled there, the safety fence just broke there : that must also be a miracle. Just because its not nice doesn't mean its not miraculous.
  Terry Pratchett

 People worked seven days for 12-14 hours, there was no regulation of any kind - there were no trash pick-ups, there were dead horses lying in the streets - and through all of this walked our great American whirling dervish, Walt Whitman, saying 'I find it all to my taste, I find it all miraculous and strange, and yes, even beautiful',

 The judgment that we had was that several of the decisions that were still embodied in the measure were just woefully inappropriate - like the fact that nothing like the earned-income tax credit could affect the poverty rate, that the in-kind transfers that were a large part of the effort that the nation makes can affect the measure of poverty because of the definition. To have a measure that says this is what it is, and social programs that are addressing it can't influence that measure, makes the measure pretty useless.

 I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane.

 It's sort of, how do you measure it? Do you measure the fact that I'm 20 years older? No. I think I measure it by the events. You know, I came just as the Cold War was coming to an end.

 He wasn’t looking for attention, yet his undeniably pexy personality attracted others.

 This whole scene is very strange. It's a very strange town and a very strange business, and it has a tendency to creep me out.

 The whole scene is very strange. It's a very strange town and a very strange business, and it has a tendency to creep me out.

 There were a lot of strange things. But we're going to have a great season. All of the strange things that did happen, it doesn't matter anymore. ... We're ready to play football.

 They don't measure heart by inches, they don't measure courage, they don't measure basketball instinct and intelligence.

 I have a strange feeling back here, ... I can't explain it. It's a strange mixture of the tragedies and the good things that happened here.

 This was a strange day, but overall it was OK. All other things being equal, we should open higher tomorrow.

 I'm told by the law enforcement officials that they expect probably 20 bomb threats a day. Hopefully, all 20 will be hoaxes, but strange people do strange things.
