It means that a person should tolerate others, that is, "measure", that is, volume. There are many adults, but not many villains. If there is no tolerance for people, it can't be a big deal.
There is also a couplet describing Maitreya Buddha.
A big belly can tolerate the intolerable things in the world and smile at the ridiculous people in the world.
In other words, he has a broad mind.
There is nothing in the world that he can't tolerate.
