Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Benjamin Franklin

Every man has three characters — that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

Alphonse Karr

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.

John F. Kennedy

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.

Barack Obama

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

John Kenneth Galbraith

3

Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority.

Simone de Beauvoir

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Every job is good if you do your best and work hard. A man who works hard stinks only to the ones that have nothing to do but smell.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

Sometimes a lot of us men think we are doing everything for the woman we love, but there is an aspect of a woman a man doesn't understand.

Shah Rukh Khan

The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.

Johnny Cash

Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth — look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.

Soren Kierkegaard

Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

Emily Dickinson

The world calls for, and expects from us, simplicity of life, the spirit of prayer, charity towards all, especially towards the lowly and the poor, obedience and humility, detachment, and self-sacrifice. Without this mark of holiness, our word will have difficulty in touching the heart of modern man.

Pope Paul VI

I was attracted to opera when I was 15 or 16. A very rich man in England bankrupted himself to put on a lot of opera during the war, but he converted a lot of people, myself included, in the process.

Bernard Williams

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

3

There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life; but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it.

P. T. Barnum

3

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

Roy H. Williams

3

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and the state in which you will find solid happiness.

Benjamin Franklin

3

The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

Jane Austen

No man was ever wise by chance.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
