I refuse to consign the whole male sex to the nursery. I insist on believing that some men are my equals.
Men should have rough hands and be strong.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
I take it that the good of mankind means the attainment, by every man, of all the happiness which he can enjoy without diminishing the happiness of his fellow men.
Even the best intentioned of great men need a few scoundrels around them; there are some things you cannot ask an honest man to do.
The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.
The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.
The advice of the elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.
Sometimes I think that the biggest difference between men and women is that more men need to seek out some terrible lurking thing in existence and hurl themselves upon it. Women know where it lives but they can let it alone.
A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.
If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.
One thing above all gives charm to men's thoughts, and this is unrest. A mind that is not uneasy irritates and bores me.
It is clearly better that property should be private, but the use of it common; and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.
But it's amazing how many people think that gay men should slink off into the shadows when it comes to having friendships with children.
When I was a kid, I thought movie stars were women and men who were in these great films that we still look at now. But I don't think there are too many films coming out these days that we're going to look at in the future and say, 'This is one of the great ones.'
Men must turn square corners when they deal with the Government.
I am so not a proper, good female. I can't dance in high heels and I'm just so not girly, but then I see these men with these banging bodies, dancing in heels, singing, and having so much fun with so much make-up on. That makes me honestly want to be a better woman.
It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.
Success cannot come from standstill men. Methods change and men must change with them.
There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
We've sent 130 men to death row to be executed in this country, at least 130 that we know of, who have later have been exonerated because they were either innocent, or they were not fairly tried. That's 130 people that we've locked down on death row. And they've spent years there.
In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same.
Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself, 'What makes me come alive?' Because what the world - a wife, a child - needs is men who have come alive.
Strange, is it not, my brothers, how often in America those great watchwords of human energy - 'Be strong!' 'Know thyself!' 'Hitch your wagon to a star!' - how often these die away into dim whispers when we face these seething millions of black men? And yet do they not belong to them? Are they not their heritage as well as yours?
He who hates vice hates men.
Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention.
Fortunately, there is a sane equilibrium in the character of nations, as there is in that of men.
I never liked the men I loved and never loved the men I liked.
The main difference between men and women is that men are lunatics and women are idiots.
I have some regrets that I might have hurt men in my life. But they can take care of themselves.
For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.
It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.
Jesus is coming back for a church without a spot or a wrinkle. His righteous blood covers the spots and the wrinkles of those who believe unto righteousness, allowing once sinful men to be holy.
It is often said that men are ruled by their imaginations; but it would be truer to say they are governed by the weakness of their imaginations.
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
Unjust attacks on public men do them more good than unmerited praise.
