Manned Quotes (page 389)

A dead man sits on all our judgment seats; and living judges do but search out and repeat his decisions. We read in dead men's books! We laugh a dead men's jokes, and cry at dead men's pathos! Nathaniel Hawthorne
Winston Churchill quote: "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good..."
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. Winston Churchill
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation. Herbert Spencer
For grammar it [poetry] might have, but it needs it not; being so easy in itself, and so void of those cumbersome differences of cases, genders, moods, and tenses, which, I think, was a piece of the Tower of Babylon's curse, that a man shoult be put to school to learn his mother-tongue. Philip Sidney
But what man does out of despair, is not necessarily a key to his character. I have always thought that the real key is in that which he seeks for his enjoyment. Ayn Rand
But it is the same thing we are all seeing, Our world. Go after it, Go get it boy, says the man holding the stick. Eat, says the hunger, and we plunge blindly in again, Into the chamber behind the thought John Ashbery
You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind-legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men. Max Beerbohm
It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better. But it is true that we have exchanged corpulence for starvation, and either one will kill us. John Steinbeck
Of all ridiculous things the most ridiculous seems to me, to be busy? to be a man who is brisk about his food and his work. Therefore, whenever I see a fly settling, in the decisive moment, on the nose of such a person of affairs; or if he is spattered with mud from a carriage which drives past him in still greater haste; or the drawbridge opens up before him; or a tile falls down and knocks him dead, then I laugh heartily. Soren Kierkegaard
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man. That function is smothered in surmise, And nothing is but what is not. William Shakespeare
J. K. Rowling quote: "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how..."
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. J. K. Rowling
No man is equal to his book. All the best products of his mental activity go into his book, where they come separated from the mass of inferior products with which they are mingled in his daily talk. Herbert Spencer
Oh man sometimes I wake up feel like a cat runover. Are you familiar with the stoical aspects of hard drinking, of heavy drinking? Oh it's heavy. Oh it's hard. It isn't easy. Jesus, I never meant me any harm. All I wanted was a good time. Martin Amis
Neil Gaiman quote: "What a refreshing mind you have, young man. There really is..."
What a refreshing mind you have, young man. There really is nothing quite like total ignorance, is there? Neil Gaiman
What I am suggesting is that each of us turn from the negativism that permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among those with whom we associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues more than we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our faith exceed our fears. When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically, my father would say: “Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve. Gordon B. Hinckley
