The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

He that would be conformed to Christ’s image, and become a Christ-like man, must be constantly studying Christ Himself.

Just as the first sign of life in an infant when born into the world is the act of breathing, so the first act of men and women when they are born again is praying.

If men come among you who do NOT preach all the counsel of God, who do NOT preach of Christ, sin, holiness, of ruin, redemption, and regeneration, and do NOT preach of these things in a Scriptural way, you ought to cease to hear them.

The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ’s voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are ‘filled.’

According to the men of the world, few are going to hell; According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.

Men fall in private long before they fall in public.

The best of men are men at best.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.

Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.

Man, you can come see me six or seven times in a row and you’ll never see the same show twice, because I don’t like to be robotic onstage. I like to perform for that particular audience.

I talked about everything, man. I’ve always written material that everyone can laugh at. I talked about growing up. I did a lot of physical comedy. That was my thing. I was a physical comedian. I did anything and everything from running on a treadmill, I can paint a picture on stage of anything.

You have to fail, man, but you cannot allow failure to stop you from doing what you must do. Failing is just as good as succeeding in a lot of ways. It’s how you react to it all. You can react to success the wrong way and be a total failure. Or you can react to losing with your whole heart, learn from it, and be a huge success. In stand-up, I’ve learned to know when I’m burning it up or when I’m being so-so. That’s experience. I learn every single time I’m on a stage.

Sometimes you got to put somebody in their place, let them know that you mean business and you’re a grown ass man.

Public men, Mr Birling, have responsibilities as well as privileges.

Western man is schizophrenic.

The need for a non-veteran reserve became painfully obvious in the Korean war when many of the men who were being called to serve were World War II veterans participating in Ready Reserve units.

Men got all the comfortable clothing trends.

I’ve long maintained that women are born knowing things it takes men a whole lifetime to figure out. This was simply one more case in point.”

You don’t pay attention man/that’s why your money is the size of your attention span.

What is here a right towards men, is a duty towards the Creator.

[Property] embraces everything to which a man may attach a value and have a right.

In no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not the executive department. … The trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man.

If there be a principle that ought not to be questioned within the United States, it is that every man has a right to abolish an old government and establish a new one. This principle is not only recorded in every public archive, written in every American heart, and sealed with the blood of American martyrs, but is the only lawful tenure by which the United States hold their existence as a nation.

We look back, already, with astonishment, at the daring outrages committed by despotism, on the reason and rights of man; we look forward with joy, to the period, when it shall be despoiled of all its usurpations, and bound forever in the chains, with which it had loaded its miserable victims.

As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.

All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.

The Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

Did men ever look in the mirror, I wondered, and find themselves wanting in deeply fundamental ways? When they opened a newspaper or watched a film, were they presented with nothing but exceptionally handsome young men, and did this make them feel intimidated, inferior, because they were not as young, not as handsome? Did they then read newspaper articles ridiculing those same handsome men if they gained weight or wore something unflattering?

I pondered what else I should take for him. Flowers seemed wrong; they’re a love token, after all. I looked in the fridge, and popped a packet of cheese slices into the bag. All men like cheese.

Do not let your peace depend on the hearts of men; whatever they say about you, good or bad, you are not because of it another man, for as you are, you are.

I have always believed the iron rule of politics was that women don’t vote for men who yell.

In the 1960s, you had this booming economy, and you didn’t really have enough men around to fill all the jobs. So there was this sudden demand that women come back and perform a lot of the white-collar and pink-collar roles that men had done before or that hadn’t existed before.

And the three ladies, as is often the case when women of sense serve tea to men of passion, prevailed.

You have been fraternizing with warewolves overmuch! Military men can be terribly bad for one’s verbal concatenation!

We all have a cross-gender character: Every woman has a man that they can play, and every man has a woman that they can play.

Across disparate cultures that require physical risk-taking as a rite of passage, it is always the men who engage in such pursuits.

Across disparate cultures that require physical risk-taking as a rite of passage, it is always the men who engage in such pursuits.

A man with a silver spoon may get his share of supporters, but he can never be an inspiration for somebody! Patience and hard work are the key to every man’s success.

Wartime compelled some mild-mannered men to contemplate what was once unthinkable.

There’s such a stereotype about men and women. Obviously, people think men are faster and stronger and all these other things, and I don’t want people to get sucked into that anymore. I want them to realize that the women are out here and doing just as awesome things. They can be just as great, too.

There’s nothing called a perfect pick-up line. Men always have to face the risk of rejection.

I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair.
And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature.

Men are like mascara, they run at the slightest display of emotion.

I think I have always known it, but I didn’t really know there was a name for it, or that it was different, but I have always felt inclined towards women. I have felt inclined towards men – not as deeply or sexually as towards women – but I’m definitely attracted to men.

One of the reasons I wouldn’t sleep with a man is because I wouldn’t feel equal, both in that I feel more spiritually advanced than men, and because society places men over women. How do you feel equal when you’re with a man?

And any man who knows a thing, knows he knows not a damn, damn thing at all.

Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds.

The man does not beat your head because you got a Cadillac or because you got a Ford; he beats you because you’re black!

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.

Being a man is the continuing battle for one’s life. One loses a bit of manhood with every stale compromise to the authority of any power in which one does not believe.

There was really nothing for serious men to do in cases of wild gossip, for superstitious rustics will say and believe anything.

In London there is a man who screams when the church bells ring.

Man’s relations to man do not captivate my fancy. It is man’s relation to the cosmos–to the unknown–which alone arouses in me the spark of creative imagination.

Of what use is it to please the herd? They are simply coarse animals – for all that is admirable in man is the artificial product of special breeding.

Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal.

For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men. This I have known ever since I stretched out my fingers to the abomination within that great gilded frame; stretched out my fingers and touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass.

The cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see

I am disillusioned enough to know that no man’s opinion on any subject is worth a damn unless backed up with enough genuine information to make him really know what he’s talking about.

Man is an essentially superstitious and fearful animal. Take away the herd’s Christian gods and saints and they will without failing come to worship…something else.

To be ordinary is not a choice: It is the usual freedom of men without visions.

I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him.

Women decide the larger questions of life correctly and quickly, not because they are lucky guessers, not because they are divinely inspired, not because they practise a magic inherited from savagery, but simply and solely because they have sense. They see at a glance what most men could not see with searchlights and telescopes…. They are the supreme realists of the race.

The most popular man under a democracy is not the most democratic man, but the most despotic man. The common folk delight in the exactions of such a man. They like him to boss them. Their natural gait is the goose step.

The State is not force alone. It depends upon the credulity of man quite as much as upon his docility. Its aim is not merely to make him obey, but also to make him want to obey.

The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating.

A man’s women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity.

Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.

Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn’t they’d be married too.

In the duel of sex, woman fights from a dreadnought and man from an open raft.

The state remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men.

The ideal Government of all reflective men, from Aristotle onward, is one which lets the individual alone – one which barely escapes being no government at all.

Civilization, in fact, grows more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. Wars are no longer waged by the will of superior men, capable of judging dispassionately and intelligently the causes behind them and the effects flowing out of them. The are now begun by first throwing a mob into a panic; they are ended only when it has spent its ferine fury.

Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their willingness to doubt.

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity. They greatly prefer security, which means protection by some class above them. They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them. The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.

The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

There is no reason whatever to believe that the order of nature has any greater bias in favour of man than it had in favour of the ichthyosaur or the pterodactyl.

Books-bright windows in this life of ours, lit by the shining souls of men.

All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.

Success is to be measured not by wealth, power, or fame, but by the ratio between what a man is and what he might be.

Religion is the first thing and the last thing, and until a man has found God and been found by God, he begins at no beginning, he works to no end.

Until a man has found God, he begins at no beginning and works to no end.

So utterly at variance is Destiny with all the little plans of men.

Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.

A time will come when a politician who has wilfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with mens lives should not stake their own.

For neither do men live nor die in vain.

This isn’t a war… It never was a war, any more than there’s a war between men and ants.

It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men’s lives should not pay with their own.

The true strength of rulers and empires lies not in armies or emotions, but in the belief of men that they are inflexibly open and truthful and legal. As soon as a government departs from that standard it ceases to be anything more than ‘the gang in possession,’ and its days are numbered.

It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men’s lives should not stake their own.

Ah woe is me, through all my daysWisdom and wealth I both have got,And fame and name and great men’s praise;But Love, ah! Love I have it not.

The origin of civilization is man’s determination to do nothing for himself which he can get done for him.

On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.

People are capable of great, great change during the span of one lifetime. And women even more than men.

Oh, all stories are the same, aren’t they? Men and women fall in love or out of love. People are born; people die. It al ends happily or it all ends sadly, and the difference matters only to the people involved.

I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love.

We know that silence equals consent when atrocities are committed against innocent men, women and children. We know that indifference equals complicity when bigotry, hatred and intolerance are allowed to take root. And we know that education and hope are the most effective ways to combat ignorance and despair.

I cannot understand why the poets of our day wax indignant at the vulgarity of their age and complain of having come into the world too early or too late. I believe that every man of intellect can create his own beautiful fable of life.

Until now I have never really lived! Life on earth is a creeping, crawling business. It is in the air that one feels the glory of being a man and of conquering the elements. There is an exquisite smoothness of motion and the joy of gliding through space. It is wonderful!

It’s a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men’s side. I would like to see more on the women’s side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that.

On a grassroots level we say that man can touch more than he can grasp.

Contemporary thinkers would say that man is continuously transcending himself.

Surround yourself with supportive people. All the negative people, man you have to push them aside.

More power than all the success slogans ever penned by human hand is the realization for every man that he has but one boss. That boss is the man – he – himself.

If men gave birth, they’d be less inconsiderate.

A man should have two wives: one to love and one to sew on his buttons.

I have learned that a man has the right and obligation to look down at another man, only when that man needs help to get up from the ground.

I thought to myself, there’s a man who gave up his life to serve others – to touch people in that way is probably the greatest thing you can do as a human being.

It’s not possible that women can be at par with men.

What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.

Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

When a youth was giving himself airs in the Theatre and saying, ‘I am wise, for I have conversed with many wise men,’ Epictetus replied, ‘I too have conversed with many rich men, yet I am not rich!’.

Difficulty shows what men are.

Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.

A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.

I should NOT be trading on the blood of my men.

I have no use for men who fail.

God cannot use men and women who live for self. If the truth is to go to all nations, God’s people must make it their life’s work.

Modern man was not meant to do his best work before forty but is by nature, and is becoming more so, an afternoon and evening worker.

The greatest want of the world is the want of men – men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

Man is largely a creature of habit, and many of his activities are more or less automatic reflexes from the stimuli of his environment.

The man of the future may, and even must, do things impossible in the past and acquire new motor variations not given by heredity.

Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.

There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

All men have equal rights, but not to equal things.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing as they must if they believe they can do nothing. There is nothing worse because the council of despair is declaration of irresponsibility; it is Pilate washing his hands.

To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.

Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters

All successful people, men, and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

The cause of most of man’s unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now.

In my ninety-plus years, I have learned a secret. I have learned that when good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out! Truly, things always work out! Despite how difficult circumstances may look at the moment, those who have faith and move forward with a happy spirit will find that things always work out.

A group of less than fifty men can bring them down.

Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.

There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.

Whether women are better than men I cannot say … but i can say they are certainly no worse.

Women’s liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children.

Men can only think. Women have a way of understanding without thinking. Woman was created out of God’s own fancy. Man, He had to hammer into shape.

A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over… is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.

Some men never feel small, but these are the few men who are.

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things; it is rather not finding them in the familiar place.

A man is angry at a libel because it is false, but at a satire because it is true.

Men always talk about the most important things to total strangers. It is because in the total stranger we perceive man himself; the image of God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of the wisdom of a moustache.

If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments.

We men and women are all in the same boat, upon a stormy sea. We owe to each other a terrible and tragic loyalty.

Many clever men like you have trusted to civilisation. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?

Whether a man chooses to tell the truth in long sentences or short jokes is a problem analogous to whether he chooses to tell the truth in French or in German.

Women are the only realists; their whole object in life is to pit their realism against the extravagant, excessive, and occasionally drunken idealism of men.

Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.

Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.

It is said that success is happiness. I think goodwill and service to all men are the true kind of happiness.

Some of the most significant discoveries in modern science owe their origin to the imagination of men who had neither accurate knowledge nor exact instruments to demonstrate their beliefs.

Behave like men, and not like witless sheep.
