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.

Simone de Beauvoir

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.

Robert Green Ingersoll

A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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.

Thomas Paine

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.

William Golding

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.

Frank A. Clark

Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

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

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

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

Emily Dickinson

3

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

3

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

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
