The measure of a man is something all of us (who are men) understand.

The measure of a man is not how hard you work out or how big your muscles become.
The measure of a man is not the firearms you own, nor even how well you can shoot them.
The measure of a man is not what kind of car you drive, nor how well you drive it.
The mesaure of a man is not your job, nor your education, nor your blog, or your cable subscription.

The measure of a man is who you are, inside. WHat you do to improve your world, the life of those around you. Having found, as Joseph Addison said, “Something to do, something to love, and something to hope for”
