Be A Man Quotes (page 143)

The figure in the icon is not meant to represent literally what Peter or John or any of the apostles looked like, or what Mary looked like, nor the child, Jesus. But, the orthodox painter feels, Jesus of Nazareth did not walk around Galilee faceless. The icon of Jesus may not look like the man Jesus two thousand years ago, but it represents some *quality* of Jesus, or his mother, or his followers, and so becomes an open window through which we can be given a new glimpse of the love of God. Madeleine L'Engle
Frederick Douglass quote: "Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave."
Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave. Frederick Douglass
The primitive tribes permitted far less individual freedom than does modern society. Ancient wars were committed with far less moral justification than modern ones. A technology that produces debris can find, and is finding, ways of disposing of it without ecological upset. And the schoolbook pictures of primitive man sometimes omit some of the detractions of his primitive life - the pain, the disease, famine, the hard labor needed just to stay alive. From that agony of bare existence to... Robert M. Pirsig
My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute. Ayn Rand
I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? J. R. R. Tolkien
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. Viktor E. Frankl
A serious prophet upon predicting a flood should be the first man to climb a tree. This would demonstrate that he was indeed a seer. Stephen Crane
Albert Camus quote: "A practical rule: a man which is wise in one area may be silly..."
A practical rule: a man which is wise in one area may be silly in others. Albert Camus
George R. R. Martin quote: "a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say."
a man who hates music can’t be trusted, I always say. George R. R. Martin
Harry, I owe you an explanation,” said Dumbledore. "An explanation of an old man’s mistakes. For I see now that what I have done, and not done, with regard to you, bears all the hallmarks of the failings of age. Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young . . . and I seem to have forgotten lately. J. K. Rowling
So take me as I am. This may mean. You'll have to be a stronger man. Rest assured that. When I start to make you nervous. And I'm going to extremes. Tomorrow I will change. And today won't mean a thing Meredith Brooks
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "My instincts are all against a woman being too frank and at..."
My instincts are all against a woman being too frank and at her ease with me. It is no compliment to a man. Arthur Conan Doyle
That's your cruelty, that's what's mean and selfish about you. If you loved your brother, you'd give him a job he didn't deserve, precisely because he didn't deserve it--that would be true love and kindness and brotherhood. Else what's love for? If a man deserves a job, there's no virtue in giving it to him. Virtue is the giving of the undeserved. Ayn Rand
Charles Bukowski quote: "I've never met another man I'd rather be."
I've never met another man I'd rather be. Charles Bukowski
I do not pretend to give such a sum; I only lend it to you. When you shall return to your country with a good character, you cannot fail of getting into some business, that will in time enable you to pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hope it may thus go through many... Benjamin Franklin
