Giggsy was the standard-bearer. He ended up with 13 title winners' medals, and I have won five, which is great, but I would always look at Giggsy and think five is feeble in comparison. That sounds really bad, but Giggsy and Paul Scholes were the yardstick, and their medals tally were what you would strive to match.

Today, presence on social media has become a yardstick to be cast - the parameter to get a job.

I want to feel happy doing a good film and don't want to look at cinema with a materialistic yardstick.

One of the secret benefits of using remote workers is that the work itself becomes the yardstick to judge someone's performance.

A good column is one that sells paper. It doesn't matter how beautifully it is written and how much you admire the author... if it doesn't sell any papers, it's not a good column. It's a terrible yardstick to use, but in the newspaper business, that's the whole thing.

I think as a filmmaker one should make all kinds of films. It is not that one should make only one kind of film. I love to see romantic films; I loved watching 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' If I make such films, I will make it with my yardstick, according to my parameters.

Our civilisation has lost this bond between times, and tends to measure time with a yardstick, bit by bit, from one point to another.

Change is a continuous process. You cannot assess it with the static yardstick of a limited time frame. When a seed is sown into the ground, you cannot immediately see the plant. You have to be patient. With time, it grows into a large tree. And then the flowers bloom, and only then can the fruits be plucked.

I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.

It has always been accepted, even in pronouncements by the Supreme Court that the Court and its judgements can be subjected to strong, even trenchant criticism. Is the same yardstick not available for comments on the use or abuse of the Court's powers of contempt?

For me, it's about the impact that the role has in the film overall. Less or more screen time, whether I get to romance the hero, is not the yardstick I go by. If my part is strong enough, then why not?

Writing works when publications are writing and serving the best interest of their users; numbers are good yardstick but not a way to compensate a person.

No matter what town you are in, there is some social order and a different yardstick to chart. In New York, people create things like schools and speaking languages and second homes.

I love that perhaps we don't see the things that are there because we have no yardstick to see things by, to compare them.

Every individual ought to know at least one poet from cover to cover: if not as a guide through the world, then as a yardstick for the language.

History uses a unit of measure for time that is different from that of the lifespan of the individual, whereas man is only too ready to measure the evolution of history by his own yardstick.

Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.

I must have been six or seven - standing in front of a full-length mirror with a yardstick, pretending to be John Lennon. In my head, I was always going to be a singer, and The Beatles were probably the first musicians that had a major impact.

I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
