Motivational Quotes
Men
Sometimes I have a notion that what might improve the situation is to have women take over the occupations of government and trade and to give men their freedom. Let them do what they are best at. While we scrawl interoffice memos and direct national or extranational affairs, men could spend all their time inventing wheels, peering at stars, composing poems, carving statues, exploring continents -- discovering, reforming, or crying out in a sacramental wilderness. Efficiency would probably increase, and no one would have to worry so much about the Gaza Strip or an election.
Best Quotes about Men
The world men inhabit is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.
Ford, Anna
Macho doesn't prove mucho.
Gabor, Zsa Zsa
The tragedy of machismo is that a man is never quite man enough.
Greer, Germaine
Men are creatures with eight hands.
Mansfield, Jane
Left to itself the masculine imagination has very little appreciation for the here and now; it prefers to dwell on what is absent, on what has been or may be. If men are more punctual than women, it is because they know that, without the external discipline of clock time, they would never get anything done.
Auden, W. H.
The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He's got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won't be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.
Gable, Clark
You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.
Duras, Marguerite
The little man is still a man.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Because it is in the nature of things that they become extreme, we have passed down from manliness to cruelty. If I had been told when I was 20 that there was a tavern in the town where the brave and the cruel were gathered together, I would have run all the way and I would have gone up to the largest and leatheriest of the denizens and said: If you truly love me, kill the bartender.
Crisp, Quentin
Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.
Caesar, Julius
Man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid of.
Shaw, George Bernard
Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim.
Friedan, Betty
Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.
Atwood, Margaret
Only when manhood is dead -- and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it -- only then will we know what it is to be free.
Dworkin, Andrea
Next to the striking of fire and the discovery of the wheel, the greatest triumph of what we call civilization was the domestication of the human male.
Lerner, Max
No man flatters the woman he truly loves.
Tuckerman
As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.
Miedzian, Myriam
Men dream of courtship, but in wedlock wake.
Pope, Alexander
I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.
Newman, Andrea
It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie.
Porter, Cole
The man, most man, works best for men: and, if most man indeed, he gets his manhood plainest from his soul.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.
Mailer, Norman
The test of man is how well he is able to feel about what he thinks. The test of a woman is how well she is able to think about what she feels.
Mcdowell, Mary
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Men aren't necessities. They're luxuries.
Cher
There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.
Plato
I'm not the man to balk at a low smell, I not the man to insist on asphodel. This sounds like a He-fellow, don't you think? It sounds like that. I belch, I bawl, I drink.
Sitwell, Dame Edith
To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.
Solanis, Valerie
Men are nicotine soaked, beer besmirched, whiskey greased, red-eyed devils.
Nation, Carry
Bloody men are like bloody buses -- you wait for about a year and as soon as one approaches your stop two or three others appear.
Cope, Wendy
What God wants are men great enough to be small enough to be used.
Men aren't the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they've been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.
Angelis, Barbara De
In the United States adherence to the values of the masculine mystique makes intimate, self-revealing, deep friendships between men unusual.
Miedzian, Myriam
The Ideal Man should talk to us as if we were goddesses, and treat us as if we were children. He should refuse all our serious requests, and gratify every one of our whims. He should encourage us to have caprices, and forbid us to have missions. He should always say much more than he means, and always mean much more than he says.
Wilde, Oscar
I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.
Parker, Dorothy
The male function is to produce sperm. We now have sperm banks.
Solanis, Valerie
If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.
Day, Doris
There's so much saint in the worst of them, and so much devil in the best of them, that a woman who's married to one of them, has nothing to learn of the rest of them.
Rowland, Helen
The intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Prudent men woo thrifty women.
Proverb, German
Men are the dreams of a shadow.
Pindar
A bachelor is a man who comes to work each morning from a different direction.
Aleichem, Sholom
Men's second childhood begins when a woman gets a hold of him.
Barrie, Sir James M.
The male has been persuaded to assume a certain onerous and disagreeable role with the promise of rewards -- material and psychological. Women may in the first place even have put it into his head. BE A MAN! may have been, metaphorically, what Eve uttered at the critical moment in the garden of Eden.
Lewis, Wyndham
Some men demand rough treatment everywhere!
Hall, S. C.
The most unhappy and frail creatures are men and yet they are the proudest.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for doing the best for his children?
Figes, Eva
Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.
Stassinopoulos, Arianna
A hairy body, and arms stiff with bristles, give promise of a manly soul.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
