Adam Levine | In real life, I am emotionally confused, which enables me to write songs. I'm a Pisces, and they say that Pisces are very sensitive. If men were just honest with themselves, they would see that they all have that side. | 101 |

Bram Stoker | There are mysteries which men can only guess at, which age by age they may solve only in part. | 101 |
Camille Paglia | Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention. | 101 |
Carlos Castaneda | To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior's spirit. It takes power to do that. | 101 |
Chester A. Arthur | Men may die, but the fabrics of free institutions remains unshaken. | 101 |

Hanna Rosin | Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others. | 101 |
Heather Locklear | First of all, I would like to clear the air on one thing. Alison has slept with more men than Amanda; Sydney has slept with more men than Amanda; I think Matt has slept with more men than Amanda. | 101 |
Joseph Conrad | The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. | 101 |

Quintus Ennius | Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men. | 101 |
Reza Aslan | Many of the prophets of Jesus's time were thought to just be mad men, just sort of crazy people who were claiming to channel the divine. Perhaps that means we should be a little less judgmental of some of our own crazies talking about God on the corner. They might actually have found a pretty comfortable place in Jesus's time. | 101 |
Samuel Adams | It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. | 101 |
T. E. Lawrence | All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. | 101 |
The Notorious B.I.G. | I'm basically different things to different people. If it's a guy, I'm-a probably have my guard up because it's a street rule that when men come around that I don't know, I just immediately throw shade on them. But I don't associate with fellas all that much; if it's a girl - a beautiful girl - I be nice. | 101 |
Thomas More | They wonder much to hear that gold, which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has its value, should yet be thought of less value than it is. | 101 |
Thorstein Veblen | In itself and in its consequences the life of leisure is beautiful and ennobling in all civilised men's eyes. | 101 |
Thucydides | It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men. | 101 |
Vladimir Zhirinovsky | We must force the government to stop the bird migration. We must shoot all birds, field all our men and troops... and force migratory birds to stay where they are. | 101 |
Walter Lippmann | The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. | 101 |
Wanda Sykes | Men are dogs. Men are dogs. We got to stop it. Men are not dogs. Uh-uh. Dogs are loyal. | 101 |
William Godwin | Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion. | 101 |
William Graham Sumner | The men who start out with the notion that the world owes them a living generally find that the world pays its debt in the penitentiary or the poor house. | 101 |
William Halsey | There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with. | 101 |
Alan Moore | Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out. | 101 |

Charles Eastman | More than this, even in those white men who professed religion we found much inconsistency of conduct. They spoke much of spiritual things, while seeking only the material. | 101 |
Charles Evans Hughes | I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation. | 101 |
Claire Tomalin | One of my most vivid memories of the mid-1950s is of crying into a washbasin full of soapy grey baby clothes - there were no washing machines - while my handsome and adored husband was off playing football in the park on Sunday morning with all the delightful young men who had been friends to both of us at Cambridge three years earlier. | 101 |

Ernest Gaines | There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past. | 101 |
Eve Ensler | Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn't killed our hearts. It's killed men's hearts. It's silenced them; it's cut them off. | 101 |
Francois Mauriac | Men resemble great deserted palaces: the owner occupies only a few rooms and has closed-off wings where he never ventures. | 101 |
Franklin Pierce Adams | Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. | 101 |
Fred Ward | I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles. | 101 |

George Ripley | We shall suffer no attachment to literature, no taste for abstract discussion, no love of purely intellectual theories, to seduce us from our devotion to the cause of the oppressed, the down trodden, the insulted and injured masses of our fellow men. | 101 |
Guillaume Apollinaire | Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman. | 101 |
Henry Petroski | It has been said, by engineers themselves, that given enough money, they can accomplish virtually anything: send men to the moon, dig a tunnel under the English Channel. There's no reason they couldn't likewise devise ways to protect infrastructure from the worst hurricanes, earthquakes and other calamities, natural and manmade. | 101 |
Jim Bishop | Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun. | 101 |
Joe Frazier | I grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina, in a six-room farmhouse with a couple of leaning posts to keep it from fallin'. I came up in a time when men were men. | 101 |
John James Audubon | Great men show politeness in a particular way; a smile suffices to assure you that you are welcome, and keep about their avocations as if you were a member of the family. | 101 |
Joseph de Maistre | False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing. | 101 |
John Wycliffe | Christ's fishermen should not meddle with men's law, for men' s law contains sharp stones and trees by which the net of God is broken, and the fish wend out of the world. | 101 |
Lou Doillon | I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home. | 101 |
Michael Leunig | Avoiding maturity is, for many men, not just a cute hobby, but a life's work - often handsomely rewarded in the infantile popular culture of the West. | 101 |

Pattie Boyd | I think men are mainly unfaithful because as they get older, they feel the urge to prove to themselves that they are still attractive. They need proof from outside the marriage. It's really sad. It's all about them. It's not about their wives at all. | 101 |
Pierre Curie | Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war. | 101 |
Richard Wright | Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. | 101 |
Robert Webb | Feminism isn't about hating men. It's about challenging the absurd gender distinctions that boys and girls learn from childhood and carry into their adult lives. | 101 |
Roger B. Taney | Thank God that at least in one place, all men are equal: in the church of God. I do not consider it any degradation to kneel side by side with a Negro in the house of our Heavenly Father. | 101 |
Russell Smith | I'm in favour of hipster androgyny: Any trend that permits men to rebel against strict gender rules of appearance is going to make the world a more expressive and sensitive place for all of us. | 101 |
Samuel de Champlain | I directed the men in our barque to approach near the savages, and hold their arms in readiness to do their duty in case they notice any movement of these people against us. | 101 |
Sharon Gless | I'm not here to put down men, God love them and I'm married to one, but I do think they are more shallow. | 101 |
Solomon Ibn Gabirol | Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings. | 101 |
Tim Pawlenty | History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice. | 101 |
William Cobbett | Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent. | 101 |
William Goldman | We are men of action, lies do not become us. | 101 |
William Laud | Some hypocrites and seeming mortified men, that held down their heads, were like the little images that they place in the very bowing of the vaults of churches, that look as if they held up the church, but are but puppets. | 101 |
A. J. P. Taylor | In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth, prestige and grandeur that went with the power. | 101 |
Amity Shlaes | Interest groups are not the same as individuals. Through false nostalgia for the New Deal, you are taking the younger generation hostage. They are the ones who are going to have to pay far greater taxes. They are the future's forgotten men. | 101 |
Anna Nicole Smith | Men don't even ask me out. I can't remember the last time I was asked out on a date, and I'm talking years here. I spend my life more and more alone. | 101 |
Bai Ling | I'm very private in person. I'm very sensitive and shy with men individually. But when I'm talking, maybe there's this other channel or this other side and other way of working in my mind, and I convert and become carefree. | 101 |
Bob Hoskins | I've played so many historical characters because most horrible dictators are short, fat, middle-aged men. | 101 |
Candice Bergen | Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick. | 101 |
Ernest Renan | To conceive the good, in fact, is not sufficient; it must be made to succeed among men. To accomplish this less pure paths must be followed. | 101 |
Frederick Henry Hedge | Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare. | 101 |
George William Norris | Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests. | 101 |
Harry Nilsson | I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living. | 101 |
Henry Norris Russell | Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know, I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that, if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams, it will transcend them. | 101 |
Kim Young-ha | From the early 1960s to the mid-1980s - the era of military dictatorship when South Korea was rebuilding itself from a postwar economic basket case to a humming, modern nation - military schools were the track of choice for ambitious young men. | 101 |
Lauren London | For some odd reason, I like a man in sweatsuits. Obviously, you want your man to look good in a suit, but I like when men look comfortable, and the swagger just stands out of that. | 101 |
Lisa Gardner | It's kind of the yin and yang that fascinate me. That for all the evil men do, there are also people who work obnoxiously long hours and sacrifice their personal lives because it is a calling - if they don't keep our streets safe, if they aren't there to advocate for and save beaten women and children and murder victims, who will? | 101 |
Lucinda Franks | Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love. | 101 |
Mary Boykin Chesnut | Brutal men with unlimited power are the same all over the world. | 101 |
Michel Faber | One of the things that struck me about the 1870s, which we still haven't nearly addressed, is what to do about the male-female divide. One of the forbidden topics is when men own up to the omnivorousness of their sexual interest and how to square that with being in love with an individual woman. | 101 |
Mike Honda | It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work. | 101 |
Milla Jovovich | I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success, to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career. | 101 |
Miyamoto Musashi | Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men. | 101 |
Patrick Kavanagh | Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static. | 101 |
Peter Kropotkin | The law is an adroit mixture of customs that are beneficial to society, and could be followed even if no law existed, and others that are of advantage to a ruling minority, but harmful to the masses of men, and can be enforced on them only by terror. | 101 |
Rob Kardashian | I feel like dress socks differentiate you in a different way - especially men in suits who just have the traditional business suit. The dress sock is the way to change it up in your mind and I like wearing my pants up higher so you see them. | 101 |
Robin Hayes | As we look forward to freedom, the shining city on the hill and the best days of America lying ahead, it is the men and women in uniform who protect, defend and make us proud to whom we should look and give thanks every night. | 101 |
Steve Buyer | Twenty-five million veterans are living among us today. These men and women selflessly set aside their civilian lives to put on the uniform and serve us. | 101 |
Wayne Allard | Our men and women in our armed forces are the real heroes in this conflict. | 101 |
Caitriona Balfe | I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer. One of the features of it is a horse race across the plains that all the young men enter - some as young as 12 years old. It's such a spectacular sight. It's incredible to think that this is a tradition that has been going on for centuries. | 101 |
Cardinal Richelieu | War is one of the scourges with which it has pleased God to afflict men. | 101 |
Colman Domingo | It's an experience I'd like to add to the chorus, that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: 'I don't care, I love you anyway.' There are young kids thinking: 'I'll never come out because it's too hard in our communities.' But I'm saying maybe your story can be similar to mine. | 101 |
John Eldredge | It was men who stopped slavery. It was men who ran up the stairs in the Twin Towers to rescue people. It was men who gave up their seats on the lifeboats of the Titanic. Men are made to take risks and live passionately on behalf of others. | 101 |
Joseph Auslander | Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living, peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving. | 101 |
Mario Lopez | There's three things men always talk about - women, sports, and cars. | 101 |
Marisa Berenson | A lot of men are very possessive and they want to control you. But as you grow older, you attract people who are on your wavelength and who understand who you are. | 101 |
Walter Reuther | There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to have done it well. | 101 |
Dexter Gordon | In nuclear war all men are cremated equal. | 101 |
Edvard Grieg | Artists like Bach and Beethoven erected churches and temples on the heights. I only wanted... to build dwellings for men in which they might feel happy and at home. | 101 |
Giambattista Vico | It is true that men themselves made this world of nations... but this world without doubt has issued from a mind often diverse, at times quite contrary, and always superior to the particular ends that men had proposed to themselves. | 101 |
James C. Maxwell | In a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals. | 101 |
Jeff Greenfield | Men and women in my lifetime have died fighting for the right to vote: people like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 during the Selma march for voting rights. | 101 |
Kiele Sanchez | There is something to be said about a guy who is attractive and doesn't know it. I hate men who are overconfident. | 101 |
Max Lerner | Either men will learn to live like brothers, or they will die like beasts. | 101 |
Saxby Chambliss | The backbone of our nation's domestic defense against terrorist attacks will continue to be the men and women in local law enforcement and emergency services. | 101 |
Ann Aguirre | Too often, women are portrayed in two ways: as prizes to be won by men or as damsels in distress. | 101 |
Jakob Bohme | If men would as fervently seek after love and righteousness as they do after opinions, there would be no strife on earth, and we should be as children of one father, and should need no law or ordinance. For God is not served by any law, but only by obedience. | 101 |
Joe Baca | As costly as it was in the lives of our men and women in uniform, in military assets, and in esteem and pride, Pearl Harbor was a watershed moment for America. | 101 |
Malcolm de Chazal | Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey. | 101 |
Marguerite Gardiner | Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart. | 101 |
Richard Adams | The thinker dies, but his thoughts are beyond the reach of destruction. Men are mortal; but ideas are immortal. | 101 |
Robert E. Howard | Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing. | 101 |
Sister Souljah | I think that the path that I took was normal in the American society where young women and men are not trained as to how to make the transition from being a girl to being a woman, from being a boy to being a man. And so I think that most young people in America live by trial and error, and not by parental instruction, community guidance. | 101 |
Susan Faludi | Divorced men are more likely to meet their car payments than their child support obligations. | 101 |
Allen Boyd | America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed. | 101 |
Anna Garlin Spencer | Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. | 101 |
Brooke Foss Westcott | Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become. | 101 |
Camillo di Cavour | The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them. | 101 |
Charles Erwin Wilson | A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could. | 101 |
David Jeremiah | The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference. | 101 |
David Riesman | The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different; they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other. | 101 |
James Wolfe | The impossibility of a retreat makes no difference in the situation of men resolved to conquer or die; and, believe me, my friends, if your conquest could be bought with the blood of your general, he would most cheerfully resign a life which he has long devoted to his country. | 101 |
Sarojini Naidu | Oh, we want a new breed of men before India can be cleansed of her disease. | 101 |
Collis Potter Huntington | Mark Hopkins was one of the truest and best men that ever lived. He had a keen analytical mind; was thoroughly accurate, and took general supervision of the books, contracts, etc. He was strictly the office man, and never bought or sold anything. I always felt when I was in the East that our business in his hands was entirely safe. | 101 |
J. F. C. Fuller | It is absolutely true in war, were other things equal, that numbers, whether men, shells, bombs, etc., would be supreme. Yet it is also absolutely true that other things are never equal and can never be equal. | 101 |
Jupiter Hammon | The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is. | 101 |
Mary Frann | I date older men, and I date younger men. I have no rules about that. | 101 |
Murray Kempton | The beauty of a strong, lasting commitment is often best understood by men incapable of it. | 101 |
Robert Greene | Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip. | 101 |
Jerry Stiller | During the Great Depression, when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one. | 101 |
John McWhorter | Black English is something which - it's a natural system in itself. And even though it is a dialect of English, it can be very difficult for people who don't speak it, or who haven't been raised in it, to understand when it's running by quickly, spoken in particular by young men colloquially to each other. So that really is an issue. | 101 |
Anas Aremeyaw Anas | When evil men destroy, good men must build and bind. | 101 |
John Dickey | The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience. | 101 |
Alexander Hamilton | There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism. | 102 |
Blaise Pascal | All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone. | 102 |
Henry A. Wallace | If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail. | 102 |
Katharine Hepburn | Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. | 102 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared. | 102 |
Jean Piaget | The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things. | 102 |
Maria Montessori | If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men. | 102 |
Cesare Beccaria | If the same punishment is prescribed for two crimes that injure society in different degrees, then men will face no stronger deterrent from committing the greater crime if they find it in their advantage to do so. | 102 |
Chester W. Nimitz | Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best. | 102 |
Christopher Dawson | As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy. | 102 |
Clarence Darrow | I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. | 102 |
Dee Dee Myers | Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession, education, hours worked, age, marital status, and children, men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions, like nursing, dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap. | 102 |
E. W. Howe | Some men storm imaginary Alps all their lives, and die in the foothills cursing difficulties which do not exist. | 102 |
Ed Sheeran | I personally don't think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff. | 102 |
Emo Philips | I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper. | 102 |
Evangeline Lilly | I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word 'feminism' because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don't want to embrace manhood; I want to embrace my womanhood. | 102 |
Felix Adler | The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. | 102 |
Gertrude Stein | Men and girls, men and girls: Artificial swine and pearls. | 102 |
H. G. Wells | It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not pay with their own. | 102 |
Haile Selassie | We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community. | 102 |
Herman Melville | We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. | 102 |
Hilaire Belloc | When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly. | 102 |
Ian K. Smith | Men, in fact, are excited and looking forward to settling down and having families and being true partners with women in relationships that are full of excitement, unpredictability, adventure, and loyalty. | 102 |
Ida Tarbell | The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else - men, guns, ammunition. | 102 |
Isaac Barrow | That men should live honestly, quietly, and comfortably together, it is needful that they should live under a sense of God's will, and in awe of the divine power, hoping to please God, and fearing to offend Him, by their behaviour respectively. | 102 |
John Lewis | When growing up, I saw segregation. I saw racial discrimination. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men. White women, colored women. White waiting. And I didn't like it. | 102 |
Katharine Whitehorn | No nice men are good at getting taxis. | 102 |
Knute Rockne | I enjoy talking to my football men and my chemistry classes and I feel sure that they are quite interested in what I have to say. | 102 |
Kwame Nkrumah | Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought. | 102 |
Lana Turner | A gentleman is simply a patient wolf. | 102 |
Lucretia Mott | Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. | 102 |
Mary Shelley | I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. | 102 |
Michael Gove | As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined. | 102 |
Natalie Portman | Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women. | 102 |
Norman Mailer | I'm hostile to men, I'm hostile to women, I'm hostile to cats, to poor cockroaches, I'm afraid of horses. | 102 |
Pericles | Time is the king of all men, he is their parent and their grave, and gives them what he will and not what they crave. | 102 |
Quintilian | Men, even when alone, lighten their labors by song, however rude it may be. | 102 |
Robert Schumann | To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. | 102 |
Russell Brand | People have always said, are you gay? I've had a lot of that. But it's just not in me. I really like women a lot; I'm repulsed by men sexually. | 102 |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge | To most men experience is like the stern lights of a ship, which illuminate only the track it has passed. | 102 |
Timothy Leary | Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. | 102 |
Warren Farrell | Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable. Disposable in war; disposable in work. We need warriors and volunteer firefighters, so we label these men heroes. | 102 |
Warren G. Harding | Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything. | 102 |
Wilbur Wright | Men become wise just as they become rich, more by what they save than by what they receive. | 102 |
Xenophanes | Men create the gods in their own image. | 102 |
Yakov Smirnoff | Homosexuality in Russia is a crime and the punishment is seven years in prison, locked up with the other men. There is a three year waiting list. | 102 |
Yousuf Karsh | I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create. | 102 |
Zsa Zsa Gabor | I pay all my own bills... I want to choose the man. I do not permit men to choose me. | 102 |
Abbie Hoffman | When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out. | 102 |
Andrea Dworkin | Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name. | 102 |
Arthur Erickson | God's designs may be frequent justification for our actions, but it is we, the self-made men, who take the credit. | 102 |
Bill Frist | The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect. | 102 |
Daniel Burnham | Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. | 102 |
Elihu Root | Men do not fail; they give up trying. | 102 |
Elmer Davis | This nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the principle - among others - that honest men may honestly disagree; that if they all say what they think, a majority of the people will be able to distinguish truth from error. | 102 |
Emil Zatopek | It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys. | 102 |
Eva Herzigova | Italian men do appreciate beautiful women. They're not afraid of the beauty, which is nice. | 102 |
Frederick W. Smith | A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can. | 102 |
Hedi Slimane | Music has shaped men's fashion, and transposed in a playful and witty manner its riding or military heritage. It is difficult to figure out who leads, but music and fashion are connected genetically. | 102 |
Jay Leno | The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. | 102 |
Joan Baez | Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry. | 102 |
Marlon Wayans | There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be. | 102 |
Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus | A handful of men, inured to war, proceed to certain victory, while on the contrary, numerous armies of raw and undisciplined troops are but multitudes of men dragged to the slaughter. | 102 |
Roy Bean | You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty. | 102 |
Sargent Shriver | Christian virtues unite men. Racism separates them. | 102 |
Tracy McMillan | Women with low self-esteem love bad boys. Women who have work to do love bad boys. Women who love themselves love good men. | 102 |
W. H. Davies | Teetotallers lack the sympathy and generosity of men that drink. | 102 |
Angie Stone | I swear by that old expression, 'One monkey don't stop no show!' The reality is, we still have some good men out there, and we should hail those men as the kings they are. | 102 |
Annie Jacobsen | To understand how black projects began, and how they continue to function today, one must start with the creation of the atomic bomb. The men who ran the Manhattan Project wrote the rules about black operations. The atomic bomb was the mother of all black projects, and it is the parent from which all black operations have sprung. | 102 |
Baron d'Holbach | When we examine the opinions of men, we find that nothing is more uncommon than common sense; or, in other words, they lack judgment to discover plain truths or to reject absurdities and palpable contradictions. | 102 |
David Niven | I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against. | 102 |
George Savile | Many men swallow the being cheated, but no man can ever endure to chew it. | 102 |
Jackie Speier | Since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, the gap between men and women's earnings has narrowed by less than a half-cent per year. At this rate, American women will have to wait until 2062 to bring home the same salary as their male counterparts. | 102 |
Jake Gyllenhaal | We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen. | 102 |
James Otis | It is a clear truth that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own. | 102 |
Jamie Foxx | It's so easy to play us guys that I hate to give away secrets to women because I know they'll use them. But OK, if you just simply don't give a guy the time of day, every once in awhile, it just makes us more like 'What do we do?' Men are developed to conquer. When we can't seem to conquer, we stay in it no matter what. | 102 |
Robin Hayes | Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life. | 102 |
Strom Thurmond | It is a matter of common knowledge that the government of South Carolina is under domination of a small ring of cunning, conniving men. | 102 |
Taslima Nasrin | Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no! | 102 |
William Booth | Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea! | 102 |
Betty Williams | I'm not sexist in any way - sexism is another form of violence, and there are many great men in this world. | 102 |
Jim Ryun | Today, we stand as a united country and are much closer to the ideals set forth in our Constitution that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | 102 |
Karen McDougal | I love to wear lingerie. The problem is that men always rip it off too quickly. When women are dolled up in lingerie they feel sexy. So let us wear it for five minutes. | 102 |
Shereen El Feki | My mother's family is Christian: her father was a Baptist lay preacher, and her brother, in a leap of Anglican upward mobility, became a vicar in the Church of Wales. But my mother converted to Islam on marrying my father. She was not obliged to; Muslim men are free to marry ahl al-kitab, or people of the Book - among them, Jews and Christians. | 102 |
Anacharsis | Wise men argue causes; fools decide them. | 102 |
Chrissie Hynde | All these fifty-year-old guys wearing baseball caps and shorts and acting like children. It winds me up. Men don't have to take responsibility anymore. Most of the guys I know would punch me on the nose for saying this, but maybe we do have to bring back conscription. | 102 |
Christiane Nusslein-Volhard | In mathematics and science, there is no difference in the intelligence of men and women. The difference in genes between men and women is simply the Y chromosome, which has nothing to do with intelligence. | 102 |
Dave Navarro | Men are much more agressive with their advances. | 102 |
Joe Barton | The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields. | 102 |
John Buchan | The true definition of a snob is one who craves for what separates men rather than for what unites them. | 102 |
Julianna Baggott | I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men. | 102 |
Antony Jay | Men grow to the stature to which they are stretched when they are young. | 102 |
John Foster Dulles | The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith. | 102 |
Alexander Hamilton | Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike. | 103 |
Plato | We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. | 103 |
Andrew Jackson | The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer... form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws. | 103 |
Baruch Spinoza | The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak. | 103 |
Bernie Sanders | Finally, let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win. | 103 |
George Orwell | People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. | 103 |
George Santayana | When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different. | 103 |
Harry S Truman | In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first. | 103 |
Jean-Jacques Rousseau | People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little. | 103 |
John Stuart Mill | A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. | 103 |
Lin-Manuel Miranda | In 'Hamilton,' we're telling the stories of old, dead white men, but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience. | 103 |
Norman Schwarzkopf | It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. | 103 |
Simone de Beauvoir | Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. | 103 |
Thomas Hobbes | During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man. | 103 |
Andrew Carnegie | As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do. | 103 |
David Ogilvy | Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. | 103 |
Elizabeth Cady Stanton | We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal. | 103 |
Herbert Hoover | All men are equal before fish. | 103 |
Julius Caesar | It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience. | 103 |
Robert A. Heinlein | Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. | 103 |
Alphonse Karr | If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious. | 103 |
Anaxagoras | Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away. | 103 |
Beth Ditto | As a kid, I was always mad - just noticing the women at Thanksgiving, running around the kitchen, while the men were watching football. For one, I don't want to cook, and for two, I hate football. I was stuck in the middle. | 103 |
Betty Friedan | Men weren't really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill. | 103 |
Bonnie Raitt | I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool. | 103 |
Cesare Beccaria | Men's most superficial feelings lead them to prefer cruel laws. Nevertheless, when they are subjected to them themselves, it is in each man's interest that they be moderate, because the fear of being injured is greater than the desire to injure. | 103 |
Charles Caleb Colton | Men's arguments often prove nothing but their wishes. | 103 |
Charlotte Perkins Gilman | The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses. | 103 |
Cher | Men aren't necessities. They're luxuries. | 103 |
Chief Joseph | The first white men of your people who came to our country were named Lewis and Clark. They brought many things that our people had never seen. They talked straight. These men were very kind. | 103 |
Chief Seattle | When the last red man shall have perished from the earth and his memory among the white men shall have become a myth, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe. The white man will never be alone. Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. | 103 |
Christian Louboutin | There is an element of seduction in shoes that doesn't exist for men. A woman can be sexy, charming, witty or shy with her shoes. | 103 |
Christopher Dawson | Law describes the way things would work if men were angels. | 103 |
Democritus | Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence. | 103 |
Eartha Kitt | I've always said to my men friends, If you really care for me, darling, you will give me territory. Give me land, give me land. | 103 |
Edith Stein | As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love. | 103 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. | 103 |
Georg Simmel | Secrecy sets barriers between men, but at the same time offers the seductive temptation to break through the barriers by gossip or confession. | 103 |
Gerald R. Ford | Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule. | 103 |
Ginger Rogers | You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen. | 103 |
Ginni Rometty | Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age - it is really broad. | 103 |
Harry Houdini | My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business. | 103 |
Hedy Lamarr | I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. Sometimes handsome men have avoided me. | 103 |
Hill Harper | Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship. | 103 |
Horace Mann | Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. | 103 |
Ian Fleming | As a result of 50 years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males. Pansies of both sexes were everywhere, not yet completely homosexual, but confused not knowing what they were. The result was a herd of unhappy sexual misfits... the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied. | 103 |
Karen Horney | When one begins, as I did, to analyze men after a fairly long experience of analyzing women, one receives a most surprising impression of the intensity of this envy of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, as well as of breasts and of the act of suckling. | 103 |
Lincoln Steffens | Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it. | 103 |
Ludwig von Mises | Men are fighting... because they are convinced that the extermination of adversaries is the only means of promoting their own well-being. | 103 |
Madame de Stael | Men err from selfishness; women because they are weak. | 103 |
Mikhail Bakunin | I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation. | 103 |
Nick Offerman | I'm very hairy, and men in film and TV are no longer allowed to be hairy. | 103 |
Pietro Aretino | Flattery and deceit are the darlings of great men, and so with these men spread the butter on thick, if you want to get something out of them, otherwise you'll come home to me with a full belly and an empty purse. | 103 |
Saint Basil | Men whose sense of taste is destroyed by sickness, sometimes think honey sour. A diseased eye does not see many things which do exist, and notes many things which do not exist. The same thing frequently takes place with regard to the force of words, when the critic is inferior to the writer. | 103 |
T. E. Lawrence | Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of whoever chose; but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it, against aggression. | 103 |
Thales | Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still. | 103 |
Thomas Szasz | Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic. | 103 |
Walter Savage Landor | Truth, like the juice of the poppy, in small quantities, calms men; in larger, heats and irritates them, and is attended by fatal consequences in excess. | 103 |
Whitney Houston | I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants. | 103 |
William Lyon Mackenzie King | Temperance is essential, if the services of men and women are to be employed to the best and most useful effect according, to the physical capacity and ability of each. Nothing less will assure a total effort. | 103 |
William Wilberforce | My walk is a public one. My business is in the world, and I must mix in the assemblies of men or quit the post which Providence seems to have assigned me. | 103 |
Zebulon Pike | If success attends my steps, honor and glory await my name-if defeat, still shall it be said we died like brave men, and conferred honor, even in death, on the American Name. | 103 |
Barry Hannah | I found out about reviews early on. They're mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That's probably why I'm less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason. | 103 |
David O. McKay | Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men. | 103 |
Guillaume Apollinaire | Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. | 103 |
James Cash Penney | The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison. | 103 |
Jim Bishop | Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been. | 103 |
Martin O'Malley | If there is a thread that unites all of our work, whether it's in Iowa or whether it's in Maryland or whether it's among our young men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, I believe that it's the thread of human dignity. | 103 |
Mary Quant | Jean Shrimpton was the most beautiful of all the models I have known. To walk down the King's Road, Chelsea, with Shrimpton was like walking through the rye. Strong men just keeled over right and left as she strode up the street. | 103 |
Maurice Maeterlinck | At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past. | 103 |
Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus | Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline. | 103 |
Jim Webb | The function of combat is not merely to perpetrate violence, but to perpetrate violence on command, instantaneously and reflexively. The function of the service academies is to prepare men for leadership positions where they may someday exercise that command. | 103 |
Julie Burchill | The freedom that women were supposed to have found in the Sixties largely boiled down to easy contraception and abortion; things to make life easier for men, in fact. | 103 |
Keith Sweat | Don't get caught up in the 'look' thing. Sometimes, we as men and women, the first thing that attracts us to someone is their physical appearance, and that's not always a good thing because what's good on the outside is not always good on the inside. | 103 |
Margaret D. Nadauld | A woman of faith is blessed by faithful men in her life who hold the priesthood of God and honor this privilege: her father, bishop, husband, brothers, sons. They value her and the divine gifts given by God to His daughter. They sustain and encourage, and they understand the great mission of her life as a woman. They love her; they bless her. | 103 |
Mary Harris Jones | I nursed men back to sanity who were driven to despair. I solicited clothes for the ragged children, for the desperate mothers. I laid out the dead, the martyrs of the strike. | 103 |
Ronald Fisher | I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences. | 103 |
Charles M. Blow | My father was short for a man, with a child's plaything for a name - Spinner. He had flawless dark brown skin and a head full of big, wet-looking curls, black as oil. And he had the smile of a scoundrel - the kind of smile that disarmed men and undressed women. | 103 |
Daphne Zuniga | My mom was sarcastic about men. She would tell me Adam was the rough draft and Eve was the final product. She was a feminist minister, an earth mom who wore a bra only on Sundays. | 103 |
Sri Aurobindo | Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite. | 103 |
Theodor Reik | Women in general want to be loved for what they are and men for what they accomplish. | 103 |
Chrissie Hynde | Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they? | 103 |
Jonathan Carroll | Even the handsomest men do not have the same momentary effect on the world as a truly beautiful woman does. | 103 |
Simone Schwarz-Bart | Men are strong, women are smart, but no matter how smart, their bellies are always there to betray women and that's their downfall. | 103 |
Jenna McCarthy | What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault. | 103 |
Charles Spurgeon | Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. | 104 |
Dolly Parton | I grew up around lots of men - my father, my brothers, my uncles - so I wasn't intimidated by them. | 104 |
Elie Wiesel | Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe. | 104 |
George S. Patton | Battle 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. | 104 |
George Santayana | Do 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. | 104 |
Terry Pratchett | I must have read every issue of 'Punch' published in the 20th century, and I think in the process I picked up the true voice of English humour - that amiable, fairly liberal, laconic voice which you find in something like 'Three Men in a Boat.' | 104 |
W. E. B. Du Bois | From the day of its birth, the anomaly of slavery plagued a nation which asserted the equality of all men, and sought to derive powers of government from the consent of the governed. Within sound of the voices of those who said this lived more than half a million black slaves, forming nearly one-fifth of the population of a new nation. | 104 |
Ida B. Wells | Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense. | 104 |
Vivienne Westwood | I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly. | 104 |
D. H. Lawrence | Men! The only animal in the world to fear. | 104 |
Dante Alighieri | Pride, envy, avarice - these are the sparks have set on fire the hearts of all men. | 104 |
Jane Austen | There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them. | 104 |
Ann Coulter | It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted. | 104 |
Charles Caleb Colton | Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds. | 104 |
Chief Seattle | Youth is impulsive. When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, and disfigure their faces with black paint, it denotes that their hearts are black, and that they are often cruel and relentless, and our old men and old women are unable to restrain them. Thus it has ever been. | 104 |
Daniel Boone | A zeal for the defence of their country led these heroes to the scene of action, though with a few men to attack a powerful army of experienced warriors. | 104 |
Davy Crockett | I have always supported measures and principles and not men. | 104 |
Eddie Rickenbacker | When I look up and see the sun shining on the patch of white clouds up in the blue, I begin to think how it would feel to be up somewhere above it winging swiftly thought the clear air, watching the earth below, and the men on it, no bigger than ants. | 104 |
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword. | 104 |
Elayne Boosler | When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. | 104 |
Emma Goldman | The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul. | 104 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way. | 104 |
Francesca Annis | Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women. | 104 |
Gary Busey | I've been told by doctors and surgeons that I have the energy of ten men who have normal jobs. | 104 |
Helen Fisher | Men want to think women don't cheat, and women want men to think they don't cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other. | 104 |
Helena Blavatsky | The Secret Doctrine is the common property of the countless millions of men born under various climates, in times with which History refuses to deal, and to which esoteric teachings assign dates incompatible with the theories of Geology and Anthropology. | 104 |
Henry Cabot Lodge | The Pilgrim and the Puritan whom we honor tonight were men who did a great deal of work in the world. They had their faults and their - shortcomings, but they were not slothful in business and they were most fervent in spirit. | 104 |
Herbert Spencer | A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance. | 104 |
Hope Solo | Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team. | 104 |
Hypatia | In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. | 104 |
Jada Pinkett Smith | Here's the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it's not just about how we look, it's about who we are. And I am going to tell you like this, 'If you can't love me with short hair, and you telling me I got to have long hair to be loved, guess what, I ain't the one for you.' | 104 |
James Buchanan | The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men. | 104 |
Jean de La Fontaine | Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance. | 104 |
Kathleen Hanna | In terms of men being feminist allies, it's just important to speak from your own place. I'd love to hear men singing about masculinity and the damage it does to them. | 104 |
Leland Stanford | Government itself is founded upon the great doctrine of the consent of the governed, and has its cornerstone in the memorable principle that men are endowed with inalienable rights. | 104 |
Loretta Lynn | Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant. | 104 |
Lucretius | Such are the heights of wickedness to which men are driven by religion. | 104 |
Margaret Fuller | We need to hear the excuses men make to themselves for their worthlessness. | 104 |
Michael Caine | I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age. | 104 |
Mindy Kaling | When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome. | 104 |
Mortimer Adler | Not to engage in the pursuit of ideas is to live like ants instead of like men. | 104 |
Muhammad Ali Jinnah | Let those men who still have these misguided ideas, let those men who still have these hallucinations, realize that by anarchism, by dastardly crimes, they cannot bring about good government; let them realize that these methods have not succeeded in any country of the world and are not likely to succeed in India. | 104 |
Noah Webster | All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible. | 104 |
O. Henry | If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry. | 104 |
Pearl S. Buck | When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail. | 104 |
Sam Houston | All new states are invested, more or less, by a class of noisy, second-rate men who are always in favor of rash and extreme measures, but Texas was absolutely overrun by such men. | 104 |
Steven Pressfield | As powerful as is our soul's call, so potent are the forces of Resistance arrayed against it. We're not alone if we've been mowed down by Resistance; millions of good men and women have bitten the dust before us. | 104 |
Thomas Fuller | Great hopes make great men. | 104 |
Thucydides | Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior. | 104 |
Warren Farrell | For blacks in our society, victimization may be a true issue. But it isn't a true issue for women. Neither men nor women are victimized. The true issue, that I try to point out, is that both sexes suffer restricted roles. | 104 |
Xenophanes | There is one God - supreme among gods and men - who is like mortals in neither body nor mind. | 104 |
Zaha Hadid | Like men, women have to be diligent and work hard. | 104 |
Zhang Ziyi | Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends. | 104 |
Andrea Dworkin | While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact. | 104 |
C. Wright Mills | What ordinary men are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited. | 104 |
David Hilbert | If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology. | 104 |
Jack Kemp | There's no limit to what free men and free women in a free market with free enterprise can accomplish when people are free to follow their dream. | 104 |
James Cash Penney | Success cannot come from standstill men. Methods change and men must change with them. | 104 |
Jane Addams | Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men. | 104 |
John Henry Newman | The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men. | 104 |
John W. Gardner | Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community. | 104 |
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette | The woman who thinks she is intelligent demands equal rights with men. A woman who is intelligent does not. | 104 |
Wilt Chamberlain | With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying. | 104 |
George Allen, Sr. | People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. | 104 |
Jacqueline Bisset | My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things. | 104 |
Julie Burchill | Lots of women love to accuse men of being immature when the fellow in question displays a reluctance to 'commit.' | 104 |
Ray Comfort | Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me. | 104 |
Steve Buyer | Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans. | 104 |
Janine di Giovanni | Once Iraq became a hot bed for kidnapping, reporters had to use every kind of trick they could manage to avoid it. This included chase cars, security men for more prosperous agencies and networks, and GPS signals on satellite phones that could pinpoint the journalist's locations. | 104 |
Jessica Valenti | Hearing the Beastie Boys speak out against sexism made me feel like if these men who had once sung about getting girls to 'do the laundry' and 'clean up my room' could understand, maybe the rest of the world would follow suit. It made me hopeful in the best way. | 104 |
John Eldredge | Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself, 'What makes me come alive?' Because what the world - a wife, a child - needs is men who have come alive. | 104 |
Abraham Lincoln | Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. | 105 |
Aristotle | Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. | 105 |
Thomas Jefferson | We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | 105 |
Charles de Gaulle | Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. | 105 |
Edmund Burke | When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. | 105 |
George S. Patton | It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. | 105 |
Saint Augustine | It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels. | 105 |
P. T. Barnum | Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. | 105 |
Alexis de Tocqueville | There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. | 105 |
David Icke | I prefer to speak of 'interdimensionals' rather than 'extraterrestrials' because the latter has connotations of 'little green men' and all the other cliche responses. Nor does it tell the full story. | 105 |
Robert Louis Stevenson | It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. | 105 |
William Osler | No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition. | 105 |
Billy Sunday | More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent. | 105 |
Camille Paglia | A woman simply is, but a man must become. | 105 |
Carter G. Woodson | I am ready to act, if I can find brave men to help me. | 105 |
Chief Joseph | We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone. | 105 |
Chief Seattle | Our religion is the traditions of our ancestors - the dreams of our old men, given them in solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit; and the visions of our sachems, and is written in the hearts of our people. | 105 |
David A. Bednar | Priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. One of the defining features of the Church of Jesus Christ, both anciently and today, is His authority. There can be no true Church without divine authority. | 105 |
Diogenes | When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man. | 105 |
Ella Wheeler Wilcox | To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men. | 105 |
Ho Chi Minh | You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it. | 105 |
Iggy Pop | 'Punk rock' is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it. | 105 |
John Quincy Adams | All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse. | 105 |
Johnny Carson | Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot more willing to die. | 105 |
Lauren Bacall | Men need to feel important. They feel better when they're with younger girls or unknown girls. | 105 |
Laurence Sterne | An English man does not travel to see English men. | 105 |
Macklemore | I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it. | 105 |
Mel Brooks | These men both publicly and privately have done so much for me. Without Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick I would be living in a little motel just around the corner here, trying to make ends meet. | 105 |
Muhammad Yunus | Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result, now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women. | 105 |
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings. | 105 |
Red Skelton | All men make mistakes, but married men find out about them sooner. | 105 |
Rita Rudner | Men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage - they've experienced pain and bought jewelry. | 105 |
Robert Plant | Old men do it better. We're not so sensitive in certain areas. | 105 |
Samuel Smiles | Men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing they themselves must in the very nature of things be their own best helpers. | 105 |
Walter Bagehot | Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits. | 105 |
Walter Scott | Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love. | 105 |
Walter Lippmann | In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. | 105 |
Willa Cather | Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything. | 105 |
William Penn | Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants. | 105 |
Bob Feller | You can talk about teamwork on a baseball team, but I'll tell you, it takes teamwork when you have 2,900 men stationed on the U.S.S. Alabama in the South Pacific. | 105 |
Emil Zatopek | We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. | 105 |
George Weinberg | As I said, men value their independence in a weird way, above practically everything. | 105 |
Howard Thurman | Commitment means that it is possible for a man to yield the nerve center of his consent to a purpose or cause, a movement or an ideal, which may be more important to him than whether he lives or dies. | 105 |
Jacque Fresco | I don't believe in the Great Man theory of science or history. There are no great men, just men standing on the shoulders of other men and what they have done. | 105 |
Joan Baez | If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how? | 105 |
Roberto Cavalli | In the evening every man looks the same. Like penguins. Women have a special dress for that event; men, the same tuxedo. | 105 |
Samuel Richardson | The laws were not made so much for the direction of good men, as to circumscribe the bad. | 105 |
Josh Homme | I have this coat that I got in a nefarious deal years ago. It's a Johnny Carson coat, and I've had it remade three times. It's mine all the time. Carson was a real man, and I thought, 'Coats for real men by real men? I'm in.' | 105 |
Steve Buyer | For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service. | 105 |
Benjamin Haydon | When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well, he is done for. | 105 |
Frederick Douglass | Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. | 106 |
Gloria Steinem | I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. | 106 |
Immanuel Kant | He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. | 106 |
John Stuart Mill | Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men. | 106 |
Lord Byron | Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep. | 106 |
Lucius Annaeus Seneca | Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war. | 106 |
Lyndon B. Johnson | We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man. | 106 |
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist. | 106 |
Thomas Merton | We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness. | 106 |
William Arthur Ward | Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. | 106 |
William Butler Yeats | I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.' | 106 |
Charles de Montesquieu | The less men think, the more they talk. | 106 |
James Joyce | The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. | 106 |
James Madison | What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. | 106 |
Sitting Bull | When I was a boy, the Sioux owned the world. The sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them? | 106 |
Alexander Graham Bell | The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. | 106 |
Ayrton Senna | Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance. | 106 |
Bill Maher | Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them. | 106 |
Donald Glover | Black men struggle with masculinity so much. The idea that we must always be strong really presses us all down - it keeps us from growing. | 106 |
Edward Abbey | The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals. | 106 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs. | 106 |
George Jean Nathan | Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry. | 106 |
H. Rap Brown | To be successful in struggle requires remembrance of the Creator and the doing of good deeds. This is important because successful struggle demands that there be a kind of social consciousness. There has to be a social commitment, a social consciousness that joins men together. | 106 |
Haruki Murakami | Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual. | 106 |
Heinrich Heine | Human misery is too great for men to do without faith. | 106 |
Ho Chi Minh | Write in such a way as that you can be readily understood by both the young and the old, by men as well as women, even by children. | 106 |
John Donne | As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no. | 106 |
Joseph Conrad | Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. | 106 |
Laurence Sterne | Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest. | 106 |
Les Dawson | I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.' | 106 |
Louis Farrakhan | Because wherever I am today, I still owe it to God and I owe it to two men - the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X and of course, two very special women, my mother and my wife. | 106 |
Madeleine Albright | I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard. | 106 |
Pierre Corneille | As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men. | 106 |
Ramakrishna | God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer. | 106 |
Sheryl Sandberg | I look forward to the day when half our homes are run by men and half our companies and institutions are run by women. When that happens, it won't just mean happier women and families; it will mean more successful businesses and better lives for us all. | 106 |
Sydney J. Harris | The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. | 106 |
Thomas J. Watson | All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work. | 106 |
William J. H. Boetcker | The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone. | 106 |
William Penn | True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it. | 106 |
Ayelet Waldman | I mean, I absolutely call myself a feminist. And by that, I mean a woman who believes that your opportunities should not be constrained by your gender, that women should be entitled to the same opportunities as men. | 106 |
Jay Leno | Today is Valentine's Day - or, as men like to call it, Extortion Day! | 106 |
Jerome K. Jerome | I attribute the quarrelsome nature of the Middle Ages young men entirely to the want of the soothing weed. | 106 |
Menander | Culture makes all men gentle. | 106 |
Sonam Kapoor | I could never fall in love just for money. I like my co-stars, and they are a bunch of good-looking men. But I've dated an actor. My dream man has to be a lot more than just good looking and rich! | 106 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever. | 107 |
Katharine Hepburn | Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do. | 107 |
Kendrick Lamar | The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist. | 107 |
Norman Schwarzkopf | It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. | 107 |
Susan B. Anthony | Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less. | 107 |
William Blake | Great things are done when men and mountains meet. | 107 |
Woodrow Wilson | America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men. | 107 |
Andre Gide | It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace. | 107 |
Adam Sandler | God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell. | 107 |
Aeschylus | It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. | 107 |
Bill Murray | When you see grown men near to tears because they've missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh. | 107 |
Black Elk | There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men. | 107 |
Charles B. Rangel | Meanwhile, our young men and women whose economic circumstances make military service a viable career choice are dying bravely in a war with no end in sight. | 107 |
Dick Cheney | It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done. | 107 |
E. B. White | Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men. | 107 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | I have made speeches urging women to adopt methods of rebellion such as have been adopted by men in every revolution. | 107 |
Herodotus | Men trust their ears less than their eyes. | 107 |
James Thurber | Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more. | 107 |
Marina Abramovic | People ask why there are so few female artists who succeed. It's because women are not ready to sacrifice as much as men. Women want a man, they want a family, they want to have children, they want to be loved, and to be an artist. And they can't; it's impossible. | 107 |
Martha Graham | Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can. | 107 |
Mindy Kaling | I would love if gay men responded to me. All I want is for many gay men to dress up as me for Halloween. | 107 |
Peter Dinklage | Women on the whole are often not as shallow as men are. They can be, but they cut through things a little more easily than men do in terms of that superficial stuff. | 107 |
Plutarch | To be ignorant of the lives of the most celebrated men of antiquity is to continue in a state of childhood all our days. | 107 |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor. | 107 |
Saul Bellow | A fool can throw a stone in a pond that 100 wise men can not get out. | 107 |
William Ellery Channing | Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. | 107 |
Andrea Dworkin | Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it. | 107 |
Cameron Diaz | I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men. | 107 |
Charles de Secondat | Men, who are rogues individually, are in the mass very honorable people. | 107 |
Gene Fowler | Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves. | 107 |
George Weinberg | Men are actually the weaker sex. | 107 |
Grover Cleveland | I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid. | 107 |
John Shelby Spong | When I grew up in the South, I was taught that segregation was the will of God, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that women were by nature in inferior to men, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that it was okay to hate other religions, and especially the Jews, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. | 107 |
Edwin Hubbel Chapin | Neutral men are the devil's allies. | 107 |
Jean Giraudoux | The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters. | 107 |
Joseph Franklin Rutherford | The few men who possess the wealth of the material things of the earth at the present time are not truly happy. | 107 |
Morris Chestnut | A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well. | 107 |
Shirley Bassey | I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough. | 107 |
Marcus Aurelius | Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. | 108 |
Aldous Huxley | That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history. | 108 |
H. P. Lovecraft | But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean. | 108 |
Leonardo da Vinci | The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions. | 108 |
Ray Bradbury | We are anthill men upon an anthill world. | 108 |
Stephen Hawking | It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics. | 108 |
Thomas Hobbes | A wise man should so write (though in words understood by all men) that wise men only should be able to commend him. | 108 |
Phyllis Diller | A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once. | 108 |
Charles Bukowski | We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar. | 108 |
Dante Alighieri | The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come. | 108 |
Marcus Tullius Cicero | Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. | 108 |
Mary Wollstonecraft | Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority. | 108 |
Al Sharpton | Like myself, President Obama is the father of two daughters. He understands the obstacles that they face as women, but he also understands the emergency of the state of young black men in America. | 108 |
Antoni Gaudi | The straight line belongs to men, the curved one to God. | 108 |
Brian Greene | The tantalizing discomfort of perplexity is what inspires otherwise ordinary men and women to extraordinary feats of ingenuity and creativity; nothing quite focuses the mind like dissonant details awaiting harmonious resolution. | 108 |
Bryant H. McGill | Self-made men often worship their creator. | 108 |
Democritus | Men should strive to think much and know little. | 108 |
Desiderius Erasmus | Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's. | 108 |
Elizabeth Taylor | I've only slept with men I've been married to. How many women can make that claim? | 108 |

Fetty Wap | There's a lot of females that hustle, just like men hustle. | 108 |

Herodotus | Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men. | 108 |
Horace Mann | If evil is inevitable, how are the wicked accountable? Nay, why do we call men wicked at all? Evil is inevitable, but is also remediable. | 108 |
Josephine Baker | Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood. | 108 |
Louis L'Amour | I think it's time that we have a women's show about the West. The concentration has been on the men and the Indians. | 108 |
Marlene Dietrich | I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men. | 108 |
Miranda Hart | I spent my childhood clad in 1970s hand-me-downs, primarily from male cousins, which mainly consisted of a selection of beige, brown and orange dungarees. That, combined with a perfectly round pudding-bowl haircut, made me look, on a good day, like a cross between Ann Widdecombe, one of the Flower Pot Men, and a monk. | 108 |
Moliere | The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them. | 108 |
Thomas Hardy | It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. | 108 |
Thomas Mann | Disease makes men more physical, it leaves them nothing but body. | 108 |
Ulysses S. Grant | Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor. | 108 |
William E. Gladstone | Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic. | 108 |
Zhuangzi | Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it. | 108 |
Sonam Kapoor | I don't like men who treat women like arm candies. He should treat me like an equal or better. And then he should be a good human being. He should see the human side of things. I like men who stand up for what's right and who don't cheat. | 108 |
John Eldredge | Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men's movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable. | 108 |
George Washington | The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves. | 109 |
Arthur Schopenhauer | Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies. | 109 |
Bertrand Russell | In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards. | 109 |
George Orwell | We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. | 109 |
George S. Patton | Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. | 109 |
John Muir | Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love. | 109 |
Leo Tolstoy | If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state. | 109 |
Malcolm X | I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street. | 109 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope. | 109 |
Phil McGraw | The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes... men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do! | 109 |
William James | Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results. | 109 |
Alexander Pope | The most positive men are the most credulous. | 109 |
Alfred Lord Tennyson | And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men. | 109 |

Aeschylus | It is always in season for old men to learn. | 109 |
Daniel Webster | Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens. | 109 |
Desiderius Erasmus | Time takes away the grief of men. | 109 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. | 109 |
Helen Fisher | Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it. | 109 |
Henry B. Eyring | In the priesthood we share the sacred duty to labor for the souls of men. We must do more than learn that this is our duty. It must go down into our hearts so deeply that neither the many demands on our efforts in the bloom of life nor the trials that come with age can turn us from that purpose. | 109 |
Herodotus | The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes. | 109 |
James Allen | Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. | 109 |
Jorge Luis Borges | The Falklands thing was a fight between two bald men over a comb. | 109 |
Jose Marti | Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness. | 109 |
Kesha | I am so not a proper, good female. I can't dance in high heels and I'm just so not girly, but then I see these men with these banging bodies, dancing in heels, singing, and having so much fun with so much make-up on. That makes me honestly want to be a better woman. | 109 |
Louis D. Brandeis | Democracy rests upon two pillars: one, the principle that all men are equally entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and the other, the conviction that such equal opportunity will most advance civilization. | 109 |
Muhammad Iqbal | People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals. | 109 |
Paramahansa Yogananda | Hypnotism is trespass into the territory of another's consciousness. Its temporary phenomena have nothing in common with the miracles performed by men of divine realization. | 109 |
Plutarch | Moral habits, induced by public practices, are far quicker in making their way into men's private lives, than the failings and faults of individuals are in infecting the city at large. | 109 |
Sydney J. Harris | Men make counterfeit money; in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men. | 109 |
Tim Allen | My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance. | 109 |
Richard Whately | Men are like sheep, of which a flock is more easily driven than a single one. | 109 |
Marilyn Monroe | Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character. | 110 |
Ayn Rand | The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. | 110 |
Charlie Chaplin | Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. | 110 |
Epicurus | If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another. | 110 |
Francis Bacon | Wise men make more opportunities than they find. | 110 |
George Santayana | In Greece wise men speak and fools decide. | 110 |

Niccolo Machiavelli | It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles. | 110 |
Thomas Aquinas | By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments. | 110 |
Iris Murdoch | Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph. | 110 |
Dwayne Johnson | The men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody - like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger - and I thought, 'That can be me.' So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn't realize back then that I was having a defining moment. | 110 |
James Madison | The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. | 110 |
Johnny Depp | I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots. | 110 |
Julius Caesar | As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can. | 110 |
Charles B. Rangel | As a Korean War veteran, I know firsthand and understand the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. | 110 |
Charles Caleb Colton | In life we shall find many men that are great, and some that are good, but very few men that are both great and good. | 110 |
Chief Joseph | Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow. | 110 |
David A. Bednar | The Holy Ghost is manifested to men and women on the earth both as the power and as the gift of the Holy Ghost. The power can come upon a person before baptism; it is the convincing witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. | 110 |
Ellen G. White | Whatsoever is done out of pure love, be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful; for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth. | 110 |
Emmeline Pankhurst | Solitary confinement is too terrible a punishment to inflict on any human being, no matter what his crime. Hardened criminals in the men's prisons, it is said, often beg for the lash instead. | 110 |
Evel Knievel | It's easy to be famous today. People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me. They were mostly working-class. | 110 |
Jack Nicholson | If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women. | 110 |
Joseph Conrad | Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work. | 110 |
Muhammad Iqbal | Why should I ask the wise men: Whence is my beginning? I am busy with the thought: Where will be my end? | 110 |
Paramahansa Yogananda | Yoga is a method for restraining the natural turbulence of thoughts, which otherwise impartially prevent all men, of all lands, from glimpsing their true nature of Spirit. Yoga cannot know a barrier of East and West any more than does the healing and equitable light of the sun. | 110 |
Pope Benedict XVI | God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the Earth. | 110 |
Rita Rudner | To attract men, I wear a perfume called 'New Car Interior.' | 110 |
Sylvester Stallone | A lot of guys have muscles. A lot of strong men in this world. I think it's important to show that even under all this strength there's a fragile side, a side that can be affected. | 110 |
Alexander Hamilton | When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation. | 111 |
Bertrand Russell | Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives. | 111 |
Jesus Christ | Give to everyone who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. | 111 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him. | 111 |
Robert Kennedy | Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not. | 111 |
Woodrow Wilson | There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with. | 111 |
Jimmy Carter | Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future. | 111 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces. | 111 |
Black Elk | Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss. | 111 |
Cara Delevingne | I just don't think that I trust men. That's the problem. I can appreciate a beautiful-looking man, but he's not my type. | 111 |
Chief Joseph | All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. | 111 |
F. Sionil Jose | 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. | 111 |
Josh Billings | Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got. | 111 |
Lord Acton | And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. | 111 |
Marianne Williamson | The Project Angel Food Program's mission is to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS and other serious illness. The Project Angel Food Program delivers free and nutritious meals prepared with love. We act out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness cannot wait. | 111 |
Amos Bronson Alcott | First find the man in yourself if you will inspire manliness in others. | 111 |
Edmund Waller | Stronger by weakness, wiser men become. | 111 |
H. L. Mencken | Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. | 112 |
Henry David Thoreau | Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. | 112 |
Jean-Jacques Rousseau | No man has any natural authority over his fellow men. | 112 |
Margaret Thatcher | One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex. | 112 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked. | 112 |
Pope John Paul II | When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society. | 112 |
Alexander Pope | Pride 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. | 112 |
Amelia Earhart | Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others. | 112 |
Julius Caesar | Men freely believe that which they desire. | 112 |
B. R. Ambedkar | Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die. | 112 |
David Beckham | Some men over-tweeze their eyebrows, and it's just too perfect. Men are meant to have kind of a bushy brow. Too much aftershave is also off-putting; it's one of my pet hates. | 112 |
Friedrich August von Hayek | The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. | 112 |
Haile Selassie | We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us. | 112 |
James Thurber | Nowadays men lead lives of noisy desperation. | 112 |
Robert Browning | Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds? | 112 |
Walter Scott | One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation. | 112 |
William Hazlitt | Reflection makes men cowards. | 112 |
Andrew Weil | A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits. | 112 |
Cyril Connolly | The true index of a man's character is the health of his wife. | 112 |
Ralph Waldo Emerson | Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. | 113 |
David Hume | Heaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and the bad. But the greatest part of mankind float betwixt vice and virtue. | 113 |
Frederick Douglass | When men sow the wind it is rational to expect that they will reap the whirlwind. | 113 |
Fyodor Dostoevsky | Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad. | 113 |
Lyndon B. Johnson | Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact. | 113 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example. | 113 |
W. E. B. Du Bois | Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men. | 113 |
Amelia Earhart | Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash. | 113 |
Joe Biden | No one doubts that innocent men, women and children have been the victims of chemical weapons attacks in Syria. And there's no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in Syria: the Syrian regime. | 113 |
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men. | 113 |
Steve Harvey | I never say 'nagging.' I think that 'nagging' is a term that men created to get women to pipe down some. But, it's a trap that we've created. We created several terms for women to back you down. Nagging means to stop asking me questions, then we get away with more. I think it's a term men created. | 113 |
Alanis Morissette | In the face of patriarchy, it is a brave act indeed for both men and women to embrace, rather than shame or attempt to eradicate, the feminine. | 113 |
Edward Young | Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die. | 113 |
Marquis de Sade | To judge from the notions expounded by theologians, one must conclude that God created most men simply with a view to crowding hell. | 113 |
Ovid | What makes men indifferent to their wives is that they can see them when they please. | 113 |
Paramahansa Yogananda | The Western day is indeed nearing when the inner science of self-control will be found as necessary as the outer conquest of nature. This new Atomic Age will see men's minds sobered and broadened by the now scientifically indisputable truth that matter is in reality a concentrate of energy. | 113 |
Anthony Burgess | Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets. | 113 |

Ernest Hemingway | There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter. | 114 |
Francis of Assisi | If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. | 114 |
John Locke | I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. | 114 |
Malcolm X | I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment. | 114 |
Thomas Hobbes | That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself. | 114 |
Kevin Hart | Men are like lions. We hunt. | 114 |
Andrew Carnegie | The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it. | 114 |
Marcus Garvey | Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. | 114 |
Margaret Mead | Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible. | 114 |
Brian Tracy | Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all. | 114 |
Geoffrey Chaucer | By nature, men love newfangledness. | 114 |
John Milton | When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for. | 114 |
Martin H. Fischer | Whenever ideas fail, men invent words. | 114 |
Alexander Hamilton | In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. | 115 |
Buddha | Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. | 115 |
George Washington | Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder. | 115 |
Marilyn Monroe | The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves. | 115 |
Sun Tzu | Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge. | 115 |
Charles Spurgeon | The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation. | 115 |
Dale Carnegie | Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success. | 115 |
Frank Sinatra | I'm supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject of women. But the truth is I've flunked more often than not. I'm very fond of women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don't understand them. | 115 |
Gloria Steinem | The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible. | 115 |
Harry S Truman | You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break. | 115 |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. | 115 |
Saint Augustine | Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. | 115 |
Mary Wollstonecraft | Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness. | 115 |
Alice Walker | In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid. | 115 |
Ezra Taft Benson | The history of humanity has, to a large extent, been one of groping blindly in the dark, fearing for the future and yet resisting the guiding hand of inspired men who would willingly lead mankind in the path of safety. | 115 |
Salman Rushdie | Many men start being friendly with women because they are trying to seduce them. I'm not trying to seduce them. I just like hanging out with them. | 115 |
Charles Darwin | An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men. | 116 |
Douglas MacArthur | I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. | 116 |
Edmund Burke | Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco. | 116 |
Francis Bacon | The way of fortune is like the milkyway in the sky; which is a number of small stars, not seen asunder, but giving light together: so it is a number of little and scarce discerned virtues, or rather faculties and customs, that make men fortunate. | 116 |
Gloria Steinem | I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers. | 116 |

Victor Hugo | Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men. | 116 |
W. E. B. Du Bois | A system of education is not one thing, nor does it have a single definite object, nor is it a mere matter of schools. Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men. | 116 |

Kanye West | Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn't white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans. | 119 |
Oscar Wilde | Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship. | 119 |
Ayn Rand | The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. | 119 |
Bertrand Russell | Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. | 119 |
Charles de Gaulle | Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone. | 119 |

Julius Caesar | Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish. | 119 |
Anatole France | One thing above all gives charm to men's thoughts, and this is unrest. A mind that is not uneasy irritates and bores me. | 119 |

Lord Byron | Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure. | 120 |
Paulo Coelho | All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society. | 120 |
Soren Kierkegaard | How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. | 120 |
Thomas Paine | Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. | 120 |

Calvin Coolidge | We need more of the Office Desk and less of the Show Window in politics. Let men in office substitute the midnight oil for the limelight. | 121 |
J. R. R. Tolkien | The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity. | 121 |

Bryant H. McGill | Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success. | 122 |

Helen Keller | Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. | 124 |
Arthur Schopenhauer | Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude. | 124 |
Ayn Rand | Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. | 124 |
Blaise Pascal | Men blaspheme what they do not know. | 124 |
Charles Dickens | The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother. | 124 |

George S. Patton | If 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. | 124 |
Ansel Adams | No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit. | 124 |
Ban Ki-moon | Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day. We might liken it to riding a bicycle. You stay upright and move forward so long as you keep up the momentum. | 124 |
Erich Fromm | The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. | 124 |

William Shakespeare | Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course. | 126 |

Ralph Waldo Emerson | Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science. | 201 |
Charles Dickens | I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. | 201 |
Coco Chanel | Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants. | 201 |

George Bernard Shaw | Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. | 201 |
Harry S Truman | Study men, not historians. | 201 |
John Locke | The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author; salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure. | 201 |

Napoleon Bonaparte | Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues. | 203 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned.

Henry David Thoreau | Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it. | 204 |

Marilyn Monroe | I think one of the basic reasons men make good friends is that they can make up their minds quickly. | 218 |

Martin Luther King, Jr. | Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. | 223 |
