Men Quotes
-
There is one further distinguishing characteristic of man which is very specific indeed and about which there can be no dispute, and that is the faculty of self-improvement - a faculty which, with the help of circumstance, progressively develops all our other faculties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau -
It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.
William Hazlitt

We know, Mr. Weller - we, who are men of the world - that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.
Charles Dickens -
There's nothing particularly physical that I find attractive in a man. It's men with a passion for something that I find attractive.
Rhona Mitra -
I regard large inherited wealth as a misfortune, which merely serves to dull men's faculties. A man who possesses great wealth should, therefore, allow only a small portion to descend to his relatives. Even if he has children, I consider it a mistake to hand over to them considerable sums of money beyond what is necessary for their education. To do so merely encourages laziness and impedes the healthy development of the individual's capacity to make an independent position for himself.
Alfred Nobel -

Owen Wister -
But prosperity, and the happy issue of events, ought also to be attributed to his grace, in order that he may always receive the praise which he deserves, that of being a merciful Father, and an impartial Judge. About the close of the psalm, he inveighs against those ungodly men who will not acknowledge God's hand, amid such palpable demonstrations of his providence.
John Calvin -
Yeah. You've seen The Sun today; I've got myself a big house, settled down. Apart from the odd night out with the New Fathers' Club, I'm a family man now.
Damon Albarn Blur -
Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.
William S. Burroughs -
Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.
William Penn -
Life’s greatest tragedy consists of men and women who earnestly try, and fail!
Napoleon Hill
-
A man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognize him.
William James -
I think that one of the hardest things in the world to be is a black male. I mean everyone hates your guts. White men are afraid of you. White women are afraid of you. The cops hate you. The government wants you dead. Your own people want to shoot you for what you got. You just can't get over it. And even if you are able to get over it you're forced to do it on the white guy's terms.
Henry Rollins Black Flag -
Western movies always seemed to show Indian women washing clothes at the creek and men with a tomahawk or spear in their hands, adorned with lots of feathers. That image has stayed in some people's minds. Many think we're either visionaries, `noble savages,' squaw drudges or tragic alcoholics. We're very rarely depicted as real people who have greater tenacity in terms of trying to hang on to our culture and values system than most people.
Wilma Mankiller -

So that the one road for which we now need God's leadership most of all is a road God, in His own nature, has never walked. But suppose God became a man... He could surrender His will, suffer and die, because He was a man.
C. S. Lewis -
There are new studies showing that young men and men with more progressive views of what a father should be - which is not just a helper and fun parent, but actually a partner - are beginning to feel more work-life conflict than mothers are. They're trying to do what women have been doing for 30 years, and they're having a very stressful time of it - a harder time at work because we still expect men to be on 24-7, working 40 years straight.
Brigid Schulte -
Many men want wealth,--not a competence alone, but a live-story competence. Everything subserves this; and religion they would like as a sort of lightning-rod to their houses, to ward off by and by the bolts of Divine wrath.
Henry Ward Beecher -
Every man plays the fool once in his live, but to marry is playing the fool all one's life long.
William Congreve
