Man Quotes
-
A man prepared has half fought the battle.
Miguel de Cervantes
-
His constant fight is with the Nafs self-interest, the root of all disharmony and the only enemy of man. By crushing this enemy man gains mastery over himself; this wins for him mastery over the whole universe, because the wall standing between the self and the Almighty has been broken down. Gentleness, mildness, respect, humility, modesty, self-denial, conscientiousness, tolerance and forgiveness are considered by the Sufi as the attributes which produce harmony within one's own soul as well as within that of another.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

As soon as you set foot on a yacht you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom.
Coco Chanel

Algis Budrys
-
So virtue is a purposive disposition, lying in a mean that is relative to us and determined by a rational principle, and by that which a prudent man would use to determine it. It is a mean between two kinds of vice, one of excess and the other of deficiency.
Aristotle
-
Look at a man the way he is and he only becomes worse, but look at him as if he were what he could be, then he becomes what he should be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
A love affair should always be a honeymoon. And the only way to make sure of that is to keep changing the man; for the same man can never keep it up.
George Bernard Shaw
-
A man exercising no forethought will soon experience present sorrow.
Confucius
-
A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not. While the latter is wasting his creative energies in useless pleasures, as well as in disease producing habits, the former is turning all of his creative energy into ability and genius, and the result is evident.
Christian D. Larson
-
When the multitude detests a man, inquiry is necessary; when the multitude likes a man, inquiry is equally necessary.
Confucius
