Man Quotes
-
The man who meets with a failure attributes this failure rather to the ill will of another than to fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.
George Bernard Shaw
-
Towards the outside, at any rate, the ego seems to maintain clear and sharp lines of demarcation. There is only one state – admittedly an unusual state, but not one that can be stigmatized as pathological – in which it does not do this. At the height of being in love the boundary between ego and object threatens to melt away. Against all the evidence of his senses, a man who is in love declares that "I" and "you" are one, and is prepared to behave as if it were a fact.
Sigmund Freud
-
What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
Confucius
-
The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.
Bob Marley
-
Of cases where a man is truthful both in speech and conduct when no considerations of honesty come in, from an habitual sincerity of disposition. Such sincerity may be esteemed a moral excellence; for the lover of truth, who is truthful even when nothing depends on it, will a fortiori be truthful when some interest is at stake, since having all along avoided falsehood for its own sake, he will assuredly avoid it when it is morally base; and this is a disposition that we praise.
Aristotle
-
You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time. For that reason I wished to be a hundred years old. In eternity, however, there is no time, you see. Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.
Hermann Hesse
-
When a man says he likes a woman in a skirt, I tell him to try one.
Katharine Hepburn
-
Innate ideas are in every man, born with him; they are truly himself. The man who says that we have no innate ideas must be a fool and knave, having no conscience or innate science.
William Blake
-
A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm
William Shakespeare
-
A man learns to skate by staggering about and making a fool of himself. Indeed he progresses in all things by resolutely making a fool of himself.
George Bernard Shaw
-
What an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man that age was which came to an end in August, 1914!
John Maynard Keynes
