Mans Quotes (page 388)

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Take these," said the old man, holding out a white stone and a black stone that had been embedded at the center of the breastplate. "They are called Urim and Thummim. The black signifies 'yes,' and the white 'no.' When you are unable to read the omens, they will help you to do so. Always ask an objective question. Paulo Coelho
Do not forget that a traitor within our ranks, known to us, can do more harm to the enemy than a loyal man can do good to us. Isaac Asimov
I claim to be no more than the average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith. Mahatma Gandhi
Anthony Trollope quote: "Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion..."
Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself. Anthony Trollope
Henry David Thoreau quote: "That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest."
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. Henry David Thoreau
He wasn't a complete human being at all. He was a tiny bit of one, unnaturally developed; something in a bottle, an organ kept alive in a laboratory. I thought he was a sort of primitive savage, but he was something absolutely modern and up-to-date that only this ghastly age could produce. A tiny bit of a man pretending to be whole. Evelyn Waugh
Paulo Coelho quote: "a man is alsoa woman; he wants to find someone, to give..."
a man is alsoa woman; he wants to find someone, to give meaning to his life. Paulo Coelho
...a man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous... John Calvin
And I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications? Henry David Thoreau
Samuel Butler quote: "Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be..."
Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it. Samuel Butler
The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him. Clarence Darrow
For, like almost everyone else in our country, I started out with my share of optimism. I believed in hard work and progress and action, but now, after first being 'for' society and then 'against' it, I assign myself no rank or any limit, and such an attitude is very much against the trend of the times. But my world has become one of infinite possibilities. What a phrase - still it's a good phrase and a good view of life, and a man shouldn't accept any other; that much I've learned... Ralph Ellison
Thomas Carlyle quote: "Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that..."
Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world. Thomas Carlyle
If you teach the Negro that he has accomplished as much good as any other race he will aspire to equality and justice without regard to race. Such an effort would upset the program of the oppressor in Africa and America. Play up before the Negro, then, his crimes and shortcomings. Let him learn to admire the Hebrew, the Greek, the Latin and the Teuton. Lead the Negro to detest the man of African blood--to hate himself. Carter G. Woodson
