Man
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female — whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.
A great man does not seek applause or place; he seeks for truth; he seeks the road to happiness, and what he ascertains, he gives to others.
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Before the Second World War, I believed in the perfectability of social man; that a correct structure of society produced goodwill; and that, therefore, you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society. It is possible that I believe something of the same again; but after the war, I did not because I was unable to.
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.
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.
The measure of a man is what he does with power.
Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.
No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.
Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Indeed, the existence of class, of social hierarchy, is as old as man himself. It prevails in the jungle where strength determines hierarchy; among men, it has also been savagely the same, whereby rulers vested with power through personal combat, or through lineal heritage as in the case of royalty, ravage their subjects.
Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ.
Man should not try to avoid stress any more than he would shun food, love or exercise.
A man should never neglect his family for business.
I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
