Numbers

 Numbers measure people’s wealth, but we don’t pay as much attention to people’s generosity.

Numbers measure people’s popularity, but we don’t pay as much attention to people’s integrity.

We can list people’s titles, but we don’t pay as much attention to people’s service.

We revel in people’s outward beauty, but we don’t pay as much attention to their inward character.

We are awed by people’s physical prowess, but we don’t pay as much attention to people’s artistic or intellectual prowess.
