Scales
Your influence for good depends upon the weight you throw into the right scale. The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable.
Science and Health, 192
Time
The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded.
Science and Health, 584:4
Statistics
The spiritualization of our sense of man ... reveals man infinitely blessed, upright, pure, and free; having no need of statistics by which to learn his origin and age, or to measure his manhood
Miscellaneous Writings, 185
Power
Anciently the followers of Christ, or Truth, measured Christianity by its power over sickness, sin, and death
Science and Health, 142
Intellect and Strength
To measure intellectual capacity by the size of the brain and strength by the exercise of muscle, is to subjugate intelligence, to make mind mortal, and to place this so-called mind at the mercy of material organization and non-intelligent matter.
Science and Health, 165:6
