Men Quotes
Never ask a man what he knows, but what he can do.
George Horace Lorimer
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice
And could of men distinguish her election,
Sh'ath sealed thee for herself.
William Shakespeare
We have no knowledge, that is, no general principles drawn from the contemplation of particular facts, but what has been built up by pleasure, and exists in us by pleasure alone. The Man of Science, the Chemist and Mathematician, whatever difficulties and disgusts they may have had to struggle with, know and feel this. However painful may be the objects with which the Anatomist's knowledge is connected, he feels that his knowledge is pleasure; and where he has no pleasure he has no knowledge.
William Wordsworth
Who never walks save where he sees men's tracks makes no discoveries.
J. G. Holland
Money makes up in a measure all other wants in men.
William Wycherley
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears; the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
I moved to Los Angeles to be with a man I loved.
Cat Power
It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great.
Havelock Ellis
One of my favorite authors is Robert Cormier. He was a devout Catholic and a very nice man, which might not be the impression you get from reading his books.
Sara Zarr
I'm not a young man, and I can find intensity in a lot of different ways, sometimes without even raising my voice. When I was younger, it was all about how I need three extra sets of lungs to get enough wind to get out the thing at the screaming level I need to, because that's the way it needs to be. Now, I see that there's a whole lot of other colors on the palette.
Henry Rollins
Black Flag
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
There are topics which are common to men and women. I think that if a woman speaks of oppression, of misery, she will speak of it in exactly the same way as a man. But if she speaks of her own personal problems as a woman, she will obviously speak in another way.
Simone de Beauvoir
