Great Men Quotes (page 15)

He hesitated till the last moment, but finally dropped them in the box, saying, "I shall win!"--the cry of a gambler, the cry of the great general, the compulsive cry that has ruined more men than it has ever saved. Honore de Balzac
What made America great was her ability to transform her own dream into hope for all mankind. America did not tell the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who -- with their hands, their intelligence and their heart -- built the greatest nation in the world: ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.’ She said: ‘Come, and the only limits to what you'll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent. Nicolas Sarkozy
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are. Virginia Woolf
Our men have been real Frenchmen, and their wives--I may say it--have been worthy of them. You may see all their portraits at our house in Auvergne; every one of them an "injured" beauty, but not one of them hanging her head. Not one of them had the bad taste to be jealous...

If that which we have found is the corruption of solitude, then what can men wish for save corruption? If this is the great evil of being alone, than what is good and what is evil? Ayn Rand
None of our men are 'experts.' We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is... Henry Ford
Edward Bellamy quote: "The folly of men not their hard heartedness was the great..."
The folly of men not their hard heartedness was the great cause of the world s poverty. Edward Bellamy
What in me is dark. Illumine, what is low raise and support, That to the height of this great argument. I may assert eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men. 1 Paradise Lost. Book i. Line 22. John Milton
You smile like Gerion and fight like Tyg, and theree; s some Kevan is you, else you would not wear that cloak... but Tyrion is Tywin's son, not you. I said so once to your father's face, and he would not speak to me for half a year. Men are such thundering great fools. Even the sort who come along once in a thousand years. George R. R. Martin
Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal. Harper Lee
In reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain mysel? I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. C. S. Lewis
Ever since I served as an infantryman in the First World War I had a great dislike of people who themselves in ease and safety, issue exhortations to men in the front line. C. S. Lewis
Nikola Tesla quote: "I do not think you can name many great inventions that have..."
