A clever man can see the world from a cave much better than a stupid man can from the top of a mountain!
Men are virtuous because women are; women are virtuous from necessity.
Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it. The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet.
The goal of mankind is knowledge. . . Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.
No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.
Some men are heterosexual and some men are bisexual and some men don't think about sex at all. . . you know, they become lawyers.
I felt the first man I slept with must be intelligent, so I could respect him.
You are worried about what man has done and is doing to this magical planet that God gave us. And I share your concern. What is a conservative after all but one who conserves, one who is committed to protecting and holding close the things by which we live. . . And we want to protect and conserve the land on which we live - our countryside, our rivers and mountains, our plains and meadows and forests. This is our patrimony. This is what we leave to our children. And our great moral responsibility is to leave it to them either as we found it or better than we found it.
Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
One man's Voltaire is another man's Screech.
No man who has not sat in the assemblies of men can know the light, odd and uncertain ways in which decisions are often arrived at.
I pick my nose and I'm not ashamed to admit it. If there's a bogey then just pick it, man.
All men are in need of help and depend on one another. Human solidarity is the necessary condition for the unfolding of any one individual.
The ideal country in a flat world is the one with no natural resources, because countries with no natural resources tend to dig inside themselves. They try to tap the energy, entrepreneurship, creativity, and intelligence of their own people-men and women-rather than drill an oil well.
Just as a stream flows smoothly on as long as it encounters no obstruction, so the nature of man and animal is such that we never really notice or become conscious of what is agreeable to our will; if we are to notice something, our will has to have been thwarted, has to have experienced a shock of some kind.
Example teaches better than precept. It is the best modeler of the character of men and women. To set a lofty example is the richest bequest a man can leave behind him.
Also, I do not like the companionship of women. They are petty and personal. They hang on to their mysteries and secrets, they act and pretend. I like the character of men better.
I hope that we have not labored in vain, and that our experiment will still prove that men can be governed by reason.
An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.
