Men Quotes (page 76)

If men will permit themselves to think, as rational beings ought to think, nothing can appear more ridiculous and absurd, exclusive of all moral reflections, than to be at the expence of building navies, filling them with men, and then hauling them into the ocean, to try which can sink each other fastester. Peace, which costs nothing, is attended with infintely more advantage than any victory with all its expence. But this, though it best answers the purpose of Nations, does not that of... Thomas Paine
Democracy demands that little men should not take big ones too seriously; it dies when it is full of little men who think they are big themselves. C. S. Lewis
Woodrow Wilson quote: "When men take up arms to set other men free, there is..."
When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare. Woodrow Wilson
She will look at you as women look at men, and she will judge you as a woman judge men...not on the strength of their arguments, and not in their cleverness or prowess in battle, but rather on the force of their character, the intensity of their passion, their strength of soul, their compassion, and...ah, this above all...their conversation. Orson Scott Card
Gustave Flaubert quote: "He had the vanity to believe men did not like him? while men..."
He had the vanity to believe men did not like him? while men simply did not know him. Gustave Flaubert
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias. Learned Hand
Benjamin Disraeli quote: "When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt,..."
When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken. Benjamin Disraeli
There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed,... Arthur Conan Doyle
C. S. Lewis quote: "For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means......"
For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please. C. S. Lewis
The difference between lie and lay. Lay is always passive. Even men used to say, I'd like to get laid. Though sometimes they said, I'd like to lay her. All this is pure speculation. I don't really know what men used to say. I had only their words for it. Margaret Atwood
He'd long forsworn all weighing of consequence and allowing as he did that men's destinies are given yet he usurped to contain within him all that he would ever be in the world and all that the world would be to him and be his charter written in the urstone itself he claimed agency and said so and he'd drive the remorseless sun on to its final endarkenment as if he'd ordered it all ages since, before there were paths anywhere, before there were men or suns to go upon them. Cormac McCarthy
George R. R. Martin quote: "Viserys sold my mother's crown, and men called him a beggar. I..."
Viserys sold my mother's crown, and men called him a beggar. I shall keep this one, so men will call me a queen. (Daenerys) George R. R. Martin
Meek young men grow up in libraries believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke and Bacon were only young men in libraries when they wrote those books. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes I think all the trouble in the world is caused by men. If there were no men, women would always be happy. ~Carrie Candace Bushnell
Think of how it all started: America was founded by slave owners who informed us, "All men are created equal." All "men," except Indians, niggers, and women. Remember, the founders were a small group of unelected, white, male, land-holding slave owners who also, by the way, suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. To my mind, that is what's known as being stunningly--and embarrassingly--full of shit. George Carlin
