Men Quotes
-
Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit--or a mask.
William Hazlitt
-
Having still in my recollection so many excellent men, to whose grandfathers, upon the same spots, my grandfather had yielded cheerful obedience and reverence, it is not without sincere sorrow that I have beheld many of the sons of these men driven from their fathers' mansions, or holding them as little better than tenants or stewards, while the swarms of Placemen, Pensioners, Contractors, and Nabobs... have usurped a large part of the soil.
William Cobbett
-
The man that dares traduce, because he can with safety to himself, is not a man.
William Cowper
-
The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up.
William Hazlitt
-
Nations begin to dig their own graves when men talk more of human rights and less of human duties.
William J. H. Boetcker
-
Wouldst thou know thyself, observe the actions of others. Wouldst thou other men know, look thou within thine own heart.
Friedrich Schiller
-
The same good sense, that directs men in the ordinary occurrences of life, is not hearkened to in religious matters, which are supposed to be placed altogether above the cognizance of human reason.
David Hume
-
Men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness.
Coco Chanel
-
They are men and women who tend to believe that the human being is perfectible and social progress predictable, and that the instrument for effecting the two is reason; that truths are transitory and empirically determined; that equality is desirable and attainable through the action of state power; that social and individual differences, if they are not rational, are objectionable, and should be scientifically eliminated; that all people and societies strive to organize themselves upon a rationalist and scientific paradigm.
William Francis Buckley
-
The laboring man and the trade-unionist, if I understand him, asks only equality before the law. Class legislation and unequal privilege, though expressly in his favor, will in the end work no benefit to him or to society.
William Howard Taft
-
I enter a whorehouse with the same interest as I do the British museum or the Metropolitan - in the same spirit of curiosity. Here are the works of man, here is an art of man, here is the eternal pursuit of gold and pleasure. I couldn't be more sincere. This doesn't mean that if I go to La Scala in Milan to hear Carmen I want to get up on the stage and participate. I do not. Neither do I always participate in a fine representative national whorehouse - but I must see it as a spectacle, an offering, a symptom of a nation.
Errol Flynn
-
Now if there is any gift of the gods to men, it is reasonable that happiness should be god-given, and most surely god-given of all human things inasmuch as it is the best. But this question would perhaps be more appropriate to another inquiry; happiness seems, however, even if it is not god-sent but comes as a result of virtue and some process of learning and training, to be among the most god-like things; for that which is the prize and end of virtue seems to be the best thing in the world, and something god-like and blessed.
Aristotle
-
Many men on the point of an edifying death would be furious if they were suddenly restored to health.
Cesare Pavese
-
This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America. Our opponent is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country. Americans need to know this.
Sarah Palin
-
Because I was a young man so, of course, I did get into fights. The last time I actually was in a fight, in the sense of throwing punches myself, was probably when I was at college, not since 1980. But I remember being attacked quite a few times in the '80s.
Will Self
-
Tis not a year or two shows us a man:
They are all but stomachs, and we all but food;
They eat us hungerly, and when they are full
They belch us.
William Shakespeare
-
When men's lives become extremely hard, women learn how to deal with them and assist them but also develop quiet systems of coping and managing.
Debra Granik
-
Women who try to be equivalent with men need desire.
Marilyn Monroe
