It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.
Herman HessePride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods if angels fell, aspiring to be angels men rebel.
Alexander PopeMy atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests.
George SantayanaIf we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. PattonDo not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
George SantayanaAll men are children and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed and wakes them in the morning.
Henry David ThoreauAmerican business long ago gave up on demanding that prospective employees be honest and hardworking. It has even stopped hoping for employees, who are educated enough, that they can tell the difference between the men's room and the women's room without having little pictures on the doors.
Dave BarryGreat hopes make great men.
Thomas FullerSome men are just as sure of the truth of their opinions as are others of what they know.
AristotleThe only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.
AristotleMen, at most, differ as Heaven and Earth, but women, worst and best, as Heaven and Hell.
Alfred Lord TennysonI say that habit is but a long practice, friend, and this becomes men's nature in the end.
AristotleSo it is naturally with the male and the female, the one is superior the other inferior, the one governs the other is governed, and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind.
AristotleAdvertising nourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production.
Winston ChurchillLet me embrace thee sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William ShakespeareMen of genius are often dull and inert in society, as the blazing meteor when it descends to earth is only a stone.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowMore men die of jealousy than of cancer.
John F. KennedyBut men are men, the best sometimes forget.
William ShakespeareAssociate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
George WashingtonThe truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.
James MadisonI have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men, than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
Henry David ThoreauIt will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
James MadisonSome of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.
Elizabeth TaylorBattle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best, it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
George S. PattonThough bachelors be the strongest stakes married men are the best binders in the hedge of the commonwealth.
Thomas FullerWise men speak because they have something to say, Fools because they have to say something.
PlatoWise men should never go into a country where there are no means of earning one's livelihood where the people have no dread of anybody have no sense of shame no intelligence or a charitable disposition.
ChanakyaAll men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman, and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
PlatoWe believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work they have the talent to put those men back to work.
John F. KennedyMen may know many things by seeing, but no prophet can see before the event nor what end waits for him.
SophoclesWhoever thinks that he alone has speech or possesses speech or mind above others when unfolded such men are seen to be empty.
SophoclesPeople who know little are usually great talkers while men who know much say little.
Jean-Jacques RousseauIf at the end of the week's work and on receiving his wages he were to ask his employer for a larger sum pleading that though he could not justly claim it and did not really deserve it yet he expected it he would not only receive the larger sum but would doubtless be discharged from his post. Yet in spiritual things men do not think it to be either foolish or selfish to ask for these blessings
James AllenMen fear death as children fear to go in the dark, and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales so is the other.
Francis BaconThere be three things which make a nation great and prosperous: a fertile soil busy workshops easy conveyance for men and goods from place to place
Francis Bacon
