Man Quotes

I start where the last man left off.
Thomas A. Edison

Of the time that is allotted to man here on the earth there is none to lose or waste. After suitable rest and relaxation there is not a day, hour or minute that we should spend in idleness, but every minute of every day of our lives we should strive to improve our minds and to increase the faith of the holy Gospel, in charity, patience, and good works, that we may grow in the knowledge of the truth as it is spoken and prophesied of and written about.
Brigham Young

Sarah Orne Jewett
-
For a woman as for a man, marriage might enormously help or devastatingly hinder the growth of her power to contribute something impersonally valuable to the community in which she lived, but it was not that power, and could not be regarded as an end in itself. Nor, even, were children ends in themselves; it was useless to go on producing human beings merely in order that they, in their sequence, might produce others, and never turn from this business of continuous procreation to the accomplishment of some definite and lasting piece of work.
Vera Brittain

A man is nothing but breath and shadow.
Sophocles
-
A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes; it is the life of another that we revere within us; then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.
Honore de Balzac
-
Man has not a greater enemy than himself.
Petrarch
-
No man is bound to be rich or great, - no, nor to be wise; but every man is bound to be honest.
Benjamin Rudyerd
-
Although he may not always recognize his bondage, modern man lives under a tyranny of numbers.
