We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item. Annie Lennox

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous. Beyonce Knowles
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. Ayn Rand

That's what I see. That's the America I know! Barack Obama

Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men. Herbert Hoover
It's amazing to me that, in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work. Mike Honda
Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love. John Muir
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were. John F. Kennedy

There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with. William Halsey

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps. Tiger Woods
What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine
We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become. Thomas S. Monson

Sheri L. Dew

I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men? Mae West
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. P. T. Barnum
The no-secrets era of social media makes one consider the built-in risk factor of nominating high-testosterone men to positions of power at all. Everyone is under too much scrutiny now to take a chance on candidates who suddenly blow up into a comic meme, a punchline, a ribald hashtag. Tina Brown
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community. Haile Selassie

Many men and women in the world demonstrate great willpower and self-discipline in overcoming bad habits and the weaknesses of the flesh. Ezra Taft Benson
Men are actually the weaker sex. George Weinberg

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one. Martin Heidegger
Let those men who still have these misguided ideas, let those men who still have these hallucinations, realize that by anarchism, by dastardly crimes, they cannot bring about good government; let them realize that these methods have not succeeded in any country of the world and are not likely to succeed in India. Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I know now that there are men out there who are, for me, the whole package, who are supportive of my successes because they know I will be just as supportive of theirs.

If I have learned anything, it is to keep my wife happy by sending her lavish gifts. Other men can learn from my success and send their wives and girlfriends fresh flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, and of course, Valentine's Day. Don Rickles
Well, the tyranny of masculinity and the tyranny of patriarchy I think has been much more deadly to men than it has to women. It hasn't killed our hearts. It's killed men's hearts. It's silenced them; it's cut them off. Eve Ensler
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men? Vincent Van Gogh

School houses do not teach themselves - piles of brick and mortar and machinery do not send out men. It is the trained, living human soul, cultivated and strengthened by long study and thought, that breathes the real breath of life into boys and girls and makes them human, whether they be black or white, Greek, Russian or American. W. E. B. Du Bois
Men, who are rogues individually, are in the mass very honorable people. Charles de Secondat

I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women. Will Smith

There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism. Alexander Hamilton
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. William Arthur Ward
From the day of its birth, the anomaly of slavery plagued a nation which asserted the equality of all men, and sought to derive powers of government from the consent of the governed.

I was taught to think outside the box.

These are the times that try men's souls. Thomas Paine

I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters. Galileo Galilei

So you're six years old, you're reading 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and it becomes rapidly obvious that there are only two kinds of men in the world: dwarves and Prince Charmings. And the odds are seven is to one against your finding the prince. That's why little girls don't do math. Emily Levine
The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you. Charles Dickens
Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists. J. Robert Oppenheimer
I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans.

Nelson Mandela
My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men. Dolores Huerta
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. John Locke
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone. Blaise Pascal
There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear.

Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. Richard Wright
All good actors are actresses. The more like a woman they are, the better they act, because a man's salvation is his femininity. Women have stronger sensibilities than men, which allows them to go a bit deeper when they are on and off the stage. Vincent Cassel
Everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself. But mankind wasn't always so lucky. Less than a century ago, men and women did not have easy access to the puzzle boxes within them. Kurt Vonnegut
You think intercourse is a private act; it's not, it's a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love. Andrea Dworkin
For millennia, men have enslaved women and attempted to appropriate female creative power, re-casting themselves as gods and creators. This assault continues today in the forms of ruthless wealth and mineral extraction, genetic engineering, mass surveillance, and war mongering. Anohni
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them. Charles Kingsley

First find the man in yourself if you will inspire manliness in others. Amos Bronson Alcott

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property. John Locke
Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal.

Pope Francis
There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see, the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. Sojourner Truth
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. William Ellery Channing
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. Hypatia
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men. Kin Hubbard
All men cannot go to college, but some men must; every isolated group or nation must have its yeast, must have, for the talented few, centers of training where men are not so mystified and befuddled by the hard and necessary toil of earning a living as to have no aims higher than their bellies and no God greater than Gold. W. E. B. Du Bois

W. E. B. Du Bois
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. Aristotle
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others. Marcus Aurelius
It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. Samuel Adams
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. George Orwell

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it. George Bernard Shaw
I don't like new bands. I don't want to be one of those pathetic old men in their forties who knows exactly what 18-year-olds are into. Steve Coogan
I realize that men and women of the military go out and sacrifice their lives and put their selves in harm's way for my freedom of speech and my freedoms in this country, and my freedom to take a seat or take a knee, so I have the utmost respect for them, and I think what I did was taken out of context and spun a different way. Colin Kaepernick
Unfortunately, with men's health, we don't talk about it enough, and prostate cancer gets lost in the conversation. Eric McCormack
I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. Charles V
The media love to cover black people on the front page. After all, when you live in a society that will lock up about 30 percent of all black men at some time in their lives and send more of them to prison than to college, chances are a fair number of those black faces will end up in the newspaper. Michael Moore
How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. Soren Kierkegaard
History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. Frank Gaffney
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger. Gertrude Stein
We have so many young men, especially, who are growing up without their dads. We have to fill that void. We have to do a better job helping young people see what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman. And then, somehow, we have to put that family structure back together. Tony Dungy
All the women want to be with me, all the men want to be like me. Ric Flair
Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death. Charles de Montesquieu

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe. Elie Wiesel
Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static. Patrick Kavanagh
On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat. Cristina Saralegui
I am angry when I hear things like Cheney whispering into Bush's ear on the way to Obama's inauguration to ask him to pardon 'Scooter' Libby and not to 'leave a soldier on the battlefield'. What kind of metaphor is that for his petty partisan views, when you have men and women giving the ultimate sacrifice? I have nothing but contempt. Valerie Plame
Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. Lucretia Mott
Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties, would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character. Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes you have to not just dream about what could be - you get out and push and you pull and you preach. And you create a climate and environment to get those in high places, to get men and women of good will in power to act. John Lewis
During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man. Thomas Hobbes

Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women, I would not even have to bathe, because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her. Steve Harvey

Beth Brooke

John Muir

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller
There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational. Albert Ellis
To understand how any society functions you must understand the relationship between the men and the women. Angela Davis
Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey. Malcolm de Chazal
For most of us, fidelity is faithfulness to an obligation, trust, or duty. For the men and women of the FBI, fidelity also means fidelity to country. It means fidelity to justice and the law, fidelity to the Constitution, fidelity to equality and liberty. Robert Mueller
A lot of times, women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship, what men go through when they're not really dealing well. Morris Chestnut
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education. Walter Scott
Finally, let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win. When men and women stand together for justice, we win. When black, white and Hispanic people stand together for justice, we win. Bernie Sanders
Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare. Rene Descartes
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. T. E. Lawrence
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge
Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult. Charlotte Whitton
Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. Charlie Chaplin
Ever since World War I, superior force is no longer measured in terms of men or horses, but in the means to wreak destruction. Saul David
Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The ruling of men is the effort to direct the individual actions of many persons toward some end. This end theoretically should be the greatest good of all, but no human group has ever reached this ideal because of ignorance and selfishness. W. E. B. Du Bois
It is remarkable by how much a pinch of malice enhances the penetrating power of an idea or an opinion. Our ears, it seems, are wonderfully attuned to sneers and evil reports about our fellow men. Eric Hoffer
I called to the other men that the sky was clearing, and then a moment later I realized that what I had seen was not a rift in the clouds but the white crest of an enormous wave. Ernest Shackleton
It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations. Charles Dickens
Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women. Gary Gygax
There is no justice among men. Nicholas II of Russia
Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together. Michelle Obama
In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. Alexander Hamilton
Some men feel threatened by the idea of feminism. This comes, I think, from the insecurity triggered by how boys are brought up, how their sense of self-worth is diminished if they are not 'naturally' in charge as men. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition. William Osler
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Charlie Chaplin

If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject. Ayn Rand
Men are different. When they are in love they may also have other girlfriends. Zhang Ziyi

Men are rather reasoning than reasonable animals, for the most part governed by the impulse of passion. Alexander Hamilton
Why do men fight who were born to be brothers? James Longstreet
It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous. Jean-Paul Sartre

Men are like sheep, of which a flock is more easily driven than a single one. Richard Whately
Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood. Josephine Baker
Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler. Amy Winehouse
There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. Alexis de Tocqueville
No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love. Edvard Munch
You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen. Ginger Rogers
Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war. Pierre Curie
Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. Robert Kennedy
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way. Aristotle
The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity. J. R. R. Tolkien
I hate wars and violence but if they come then I don't see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then knit them balaclavas. Nancy Wake
Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired. Mae West

These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have. Abraham Lincoln
If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle. Rita Mae Brown
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Ayn Rand
Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Charles Dickens
Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments. Andrew Jackson
Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others. Niccolo Machiavelli
Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs. Emmeline Pankhurst
The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions. Junius
When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues. Honore de Balzac

It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope. Niccolo Machiavelli
I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants. Whitney Houston
We shall suffer no attachment to literature, no taste for abstract discussion, no love of purely intellectual theories, to seduce us from our devotion to the cause of the oppressed, the down trodden, the insulted and injured masses of our fellow men. George Ripley
Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men. Shirley Chisholm
The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. Andrew Carnegie
Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. Simone de Beauvoir
Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy; we do not value the sun for its height, but for its use. Gamaliel Bailey

I pray as follows: May justice reign, may the laws not be broken, may the wise men be poor, and the poor men rich, without sin. Apollonius of Tyana
Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences. Marcus Garvey
The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river. Kerry Washington
Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of. Jonathan Swift
When growing up, I saw segregation. I saw racial discrimination. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men. White women, colored women. White waiting. And I didn't like it. John Lewis

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad. Billie Jean King
The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human. Victor Hugo
So many men have so many times predicted the time of the end of the Rebellion, and been mistaken, that I will not do so now; but I can say it will be very soon, if the old regiments are filled up. Ambrose Burnside
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. Bertrand Russell
There is always a type of man who says he loves his fellow men, and expects to make a living at it. E. W. Howe
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal. Aristotle
Men, even when alone, lighten their labors by song, however rude it may be. Quintilian
Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. Thomas Paine
Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day. We might liken it to riding a bicycle. You stay upright and move forward so long as you keep up the momentum. Ban Ki-moon
The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. James Madison
Most women don't like good men. They say they want a good buy, but most women always wind up with the bad boy. Stephanie Mills
Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men. Harry Day
Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men. Marcus Garvey
Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache. Gilbert K. Chesterton
For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved. Henri Nouwen
Men shut their doors against a setting sun. William Shakespeare
The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves. Marilyn Monroe
A system of education is not one thing, nor does it have a single definite object, nor is it a mere matter of schools. Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men. W. E. B. Du Bois
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to have done it well. Walter Reuther
I suppose I've always done my share of crying, especially when there's no other way to contain my feelings. I know that men ain't supposed to cry, but I think that's wrong. Crying's always been a way for me to get things out which are buried deep, deep down. When I sing, I often cry. Crying is feeling, and feeling is being human. Oh yes, I cry. Ray Charles
The difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in the settled purpose and in the invincible determination. Vince Lombardi
What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault. Jenna McCarthy
I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. Clarence Darrow
If it is right for men to fight for their freedom, and God knows what the human race would be like today if men had not, since time began, fought for their freedom, then it is right for women to fight for their freedom and the freedom of the children they bear. Emmeline Pankhurst
Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets. Anthony Burgess

Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects. Oscar Wilde
You'll have to forgive me this boldness, but I think women are very fortunate that men exist! The gods are very wise and certainly knew what they were doing. They created the sun and the moon, light and darkness, the eagle and the serpent, all for the same reason. They are perfect complements and the mechanism we use to reach heaven. Laura Esquivel
Khaki trousers soon became the province of hipsters like Jack Kerouac and Miles Davis. They were taken to new heights by Ralph Lauren, who helped popularize them among college professors and preppy men. Roger Stone
Great hopes make great men. Thomas Fuller
Mining created Chile. The story of men who go down into the mountain and chip away at minerals in the darkness and then suffer an accident that leaves them at the mercy of that darkness is part of the DNA of Chile, an integral part of the country's history. Ariel Dorfman
Make women rational creatures, and free citizens, and they will quickly become good wives; - that is, if men do not neglect the duties of husbands and fathers. Mary Wollstonecraft
I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.' Les Dawson

Men have died for this music. You can't get more serious than that. Dizzy Gillespie
A woman of faith is blessed by faithful men in her life who hold the priesthood of God and honor this privilege: her father, bishop, husband, brothers, sons.

Nadauld
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. Ida B. Wells
Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die. B. R. Ambedkar
Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. Anna Garlin Spencer
All men make mistakes, but married men find out about them sooner. Red Skelton
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance. Jean de La Fontaine

Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars. Beck

One of my favorite places I've visited is Havana, Cuba. On my way home from Costa Rica, I did a week in Havana. The colors, the music, the beautiful men and the cars! I love vintage and antique cars and own a couple myself. Megalyn Echikunwoke
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them. Orison Swett Marden
Do not borrow the productions of other men's brains and pens and recite them as a lesson; but make the most of the talents, the brain power, that God has given you. Ellen G. White
Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all. Camille Paglia
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Pythagoras
The Creator, in taking infinite pains to shroud with mystery His presence in every atom of creation, could have had but one motive - a sensitive desire that men seek Him only through free will. Paramahansa Yogananda
At no point do I wish to be in conflict with any man or masculine thought. It doesn't enter my consciousness. Art is anonymous. It's not competitive with men. It's a complementary contribution. Barbara Hepworth
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness. George Orwell
To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. Robert Schumann
Indeed, the existence of class, of social hierarchy, is as old as man himself. It prevails in the jungle where strength determines hierarchy; among men, it has also been savagely the same, whereby rulers vested with power through personal combat, or through lineal heritage as in the case of royalty, ravage their subjects. F. Sionil Jose
Only free men can negotiate. A prisoner cannot enter into contracts. Nelson Mandela
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men. Francis Bacon
The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
You have young men of color in many communities who are more likely to end up in jail or in the criminal justice system than they are in a good job or in college. And, you know, part of my job, that I can do, I think, without any potential conflicts, is to get at those root causes. Barack Obama
I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences. Ronald Fisher
When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different. George Santayana

The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them. Moliere
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression. Eleanor Roosevelt
That whole heroic notion of the women warriors known as Amazons is extremely appealing. It was appealing in antiquity, and, throughout the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, they're always portrayed as heroic, courageous, and the equals of men, and that's just extremely attractive and has been since antiquity. Adrienne Mayor
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear. Niccolo Machiavelli
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude. Arthur Schopenhauer
Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they? Chrissie Hynde
When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them. Plato
The brave men and women who have served - and those who continue to serve - our armed forces have selflessly sacrificed for our nation, and we owe it to them to provide the best services and protections available when they're overseas and after they return home. Kirsten Gillibrand
A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example. Niccolo Machiavelli
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. Francis Bacon
Sufficient for me is that honour which is not seen of men but is felt in the heart, as faithful is He who hath promised and who never lies. Saint Patrick
I have to be honest with you: When the FBI let me out of prison early to advise the agency on preventing fraud, I wasn't a changed person. I wasn't rehabilitated. But when I started working with the FBI, one of the most ethical groups of men and women in the world, I couldn't help but have some of that character rub off on me. Frank Abagnale
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
It is the knowledge that all men have weaknesses and that many have vices that makes government necessary. James Monroe
Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well, he is done for. Benjamin Haydon
The greatest want of the world is the want of men - men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. Ellen G. White
If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail. Ulysses S. Grant
Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot. Niccolo Machiavelli

A woman simply is, but a man must become. Camille Paglia
I'm basically different things to different people. If it's a guy, I'm-a probably have my guard up because it's a street rule that when men come around that I don't know, I just immediately throw shade on them.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke
You can't forget that organizational success flows from the hearts and minds of the men and women you lead.

Small gestures like opting for face-to-face meetings or sending personal notes can have an enormous impact on teams and their morale. Marillyn Hewson
It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. Norman Schwarzkopf
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it. Leo Tolstoy
Culture makes all men gentle. Menander
When I grew up in the South, I was taught that segregation was the will of God, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that women were by nature in inferior to men, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that it was okay to hate other religions, and especially the Jews, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. John Shelby Spong
All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it. John Locke
In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first. Harry S Truman

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they've always gotten killed doing it.

Buddha
All men are equal before fish. Herbert Hoover
We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item. Annie Lennox
If the same punishment is prescribed for two crimes that injure society in different degrees, then men will face no stronger deterrent from committing the greater crime if they find it in their advantage to do so. Cesare Beccaria

What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control.

The no-secrets era of social media makes one consider the built-in risk factor of nominating high-testosterone men to positions of power at all. Everyone is under too much scrutiny now to take a chance on candidates who suddenly blow up into a comic meme, a punchline, a ribald hashtag. Tina Brown
We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community. Haile Selassie

Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I know now that there are men out there who are, for me, the whole package, who are supportive of my successes because they know I will be just as supportive of theirs.

School houses do not teach themselves - piles of brick and mortar and machinery do not send out men.

I was taught to think outside the box.

He taught the concept that creativity can be taught at Buffalo University. My dad invented toys. My mom was a photographer. M. J. Rose
These are the times that try men's souls. Thomas Paine
Real men laugh at opposition; real men smile when enemies appear. Marcus Garvey
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. Thomas Paine
Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard, to share in the decisions of government which shape men's lives. Robert Kennedy
I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters. Galileo Galilei
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. Katharine Hepburn

Sometimes I think women are lucky because they can develop in ways men can't. The old-boy network may be oppressive to women, but it actually stunts men in terms of personal growth. Willem Dafoe
I directed the men in our barque to approach near the savages, and hold their arms in readiness to do their duty in case they notice any movement of these people against us. Samuel de Champlain

I was taught to do math and read at the same time. So you're six years old, you're reading 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and it becomes rapidly obvious that there are only two kinds of men in the world: dwarves and Prince Charmings. And the odds are seven is to one against your finding the prince. That's why little girls don't do math. Emily Levine
The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you. Charles Dickens
Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists. J. Robert Oppenheimer
I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skin color. Nelson Mandela
My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men. Dolores Huerta
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. John Locke
All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone. Blaise Pascal
There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear. We all have fears, this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up, but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be. Marlon Wayans
Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. Richard Wright
All good actors are actresses. The more like a woman they are, the better they act, because a man's salvation is his femininity. Women have stronger sensibilities than men, which allows them to go a bit deeper when they are on and off the stage. Vincent Cassel
Everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself. But mankind wasn't always so lucky. Less than a century ago, men and women did not have easy access to the puzzle boxes within them. Kurt Vonnegut
You think intercourse is a private act; it's not, it's a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love. Andrea Dworkin
For millennia, men have enslaved women and attempted to appropriate female creative power, re-casting themselves as gods and creators. This assault continues today in the forms of ruthless wealth and mineral extraction, genetic engineering, mass surveillance, and war mongering. Anohni
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them. Charles Kingsley

Emmeline Pankhurst
First find the man in yourself if you will inspire manliness in others. Amos Bronson Alcott
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. Florynce Kennedy

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property. John Locke
Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects. Pope Francis
There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see, the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. Sojourner Truth
Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. William Ellery Channing
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. Hypatia
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men. Kin Hubbard
All men cannot go to college, but some men must; every isolated group or nation must have its yeast, must have, for the talented few, centers of training where men are not so mystified and befuddled by the hard and necessary toil of earning a living as to have no aims higher than their bellies and no God greater than Gold. W. E. B. Du Bois
Our love, our gratitude, our admiration for our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families - all of that is bigger than any one party or any one election. Michelle Obama

W. E. B. Du Bois
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. Aristotle
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others. Marcus Aurelius

I don't like new bands. I don't want to be one of those pathetic old men in their forties who knows exactly what 18-year-olds are into. Steve Coogan
I realize that men and women of the military go out and sacrifice their lives and put their selves in harm's way for my freedom of speech and my freedoms in this country, and my freedom to take a seat or take a knee, so I have the utmost respect for them, and I think what I did was taken out of context and spun a different way. Colin Kaepernick
Unfortunately, with men's health, we don't talk about it enough, and prostate cancer gets lost in the conversation. Eric McCormack
I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. Charles V
The media love to cover black people on the front page. After all, when you live in a society that will lock up about 30 percent of all black men at some time in their lives and send more of them to prison than to college, chances are a fair number of those black faces will end up in the newspaper. Michael Moore
How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. Soren Kierkegaard
History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. Frank Gaffney
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger. Gertrude Stein
We have so many young men, especially, who are growing up without their dads. We have to fill that void. We have to do a better job helping young people see what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman. And then, somehow, we have to put that family structure back together. Tony Dungy
All the women want to be with me, all the men want to be like me. Ric Flair

Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static. Patrick Kavanagh
On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat. Cristina Saralegui
I am angry when I hear things like Cheney whispering into Bush's ear on the way to Obama's inauguration to ask him to pardon 'Scooter' Libby and not to 'leave a soldier on the battlefield'. What kind of metaphor is that for his petty partisan views, when you have men and women giving the ultimate sacrifice? I have nothing but contempt. Valerie Plame
Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. Lucretia Mott

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sometimes you have to not just dream about what could be - you get out and push and you pull and you preach. And you create a climate and environment to get those in high places, to get men and women of good will in power to act. John Lewis
During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man. Thomas Hobbes

If you want to give up the admiration of thousands of men for the distain of one, go ahead, get married. Katharine Hepburn
I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street. Malcolm X

Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens. Samuel Gompers
When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity. Napoleon Bonaparte

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking. Julius Caesar
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. Gloria Steinem
For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed. Clifton Fadiman

The true test of a man's style is the haircut. There are some men who look good no matter how their hair is styled, whether it's trendy or not. A man can change his haircut many times, but to pull off any haircut, you have to be very chic. Like Brad Pitt. Carine Roitfeld
Yoga is a method for restraining the natural turbulence of thoughts, which otherwise impartially prevent all men, of all lands, from glimpsing their true nature of Spirit.

It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys. Emil Zatopek
A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. Plato

Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth. Chuck Norris
Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day. Sophocles
Growing up, my mother was a very strong woman who was not very big, about 5'1'', but boy, you grabbed a tiger by the tail if you messed with her. I know grown men that messed with her, and through her wit and intelligence and her no-quit, she never lost a fight. That's very influential on me when I'm telling stories. I love exploring that. Taylor Sheridan
Here's the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it's not just about how we look, it's about who we are. And I am going to tell you like this, 'If you can't love me with short hair, and you telling me I got to have long hair to be loved, guess what, I ain't the one for you.' Jada Pinkett Smith

The only genuine elite is the elite of those men and women who gave their lives to justice and charity. Sargent Shriver
The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters. Jean Giraudoux
The truth is that men are tired of liberty. Benito Mussolini
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. Will Rogers

We look at the African-American community, for a long time those of us who be considered strong - black men - for whatever reason, haven't done a good job of taking care of the weak. And we were doing things that render taking care of our youth and taking care of our women and our families impossible, when our lives are taken. Ryan Coogler
Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women, I would not even have to bathe, because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her. Steve Harvey
To speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do is style. Roger Ascham

Beth Brooke
I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth do dwell.

W. E. B. Du Bois

People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I'm shaped this way, I must be scandalous - like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it's just the opposite. Jennifer Lopez

Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies. Arthur Schopenhauer

Feminism is, I hope, a way to a better future for everyone who inhabits this world. Feminism should not be something that needs a seductive marketing campaign. The idea of women moving through the world as freely as men should sell itself. Roxane Gay
Power is what men seek and any group that gets it will abuse it. Lincoln Steffens
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. Horace Mann

John Muir
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another. Epicurus

The first white men of your people who came to our country were named Lewis and Clark. They brought many things that our people had never seen. They talked straight. These men were very kind. Chief Joseph

At Athens, wise men propose, and fools dispose. Alcuin
I like having young assistants in my office; they have energy, and I spend time with them to make sure they understand what we're doing. By investing in them, I'm investing in the magazine. All over 'Vogue,' 'Teen Vogue,' and 'Men's Vogue,' there are people who have been through not only my office but also many other offices at 'Vogue.' Anna Wintour
The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men. Lyndon B. Johnson

It is true that as people, we tend to remember only the positive. With time, the grim details fade away, and as a species we survive on this notion.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Men are like sheep, of which a flock is more easily driven than a single one. Richard Whately

Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war. Pierre Curie

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way. Aristotle

Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men. Shirley Chisholm

The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. Thomas Paine
Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day.

The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. James Madison
Most women don't like good men. They say they want a good buy, but most women always wind up with the bad boy. Stephanie Mills

Crying's always been a way for me to get things out which are buried deep, deep down. When I sing, I often cry. Crying is feeling, and feeling is being human. Oh yes, I cry. Ray Charles
The difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in the settled purpose and in the invincible determination. Vince Lombardi
What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault. Jenna McCarthy
I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. Clarence Darrow

You'll have to forgive me this boldness, but I think women are very fortunate that men exist! The gods are very wise and certainly knew what they were doing. They created the sun and the moon, light and darkness, the eagle and the serpent, all for the same reason. They are perfect complements and the mechanism we use to reach heaven. Laura Esquivel
Khaki trousers soon became the province of hipsters like Jack Kerouac and Miles Davis. They were taken to new heights by Ralph Lauren, who helped popularize them among college professors and preppy men. Roger Stone

Nadauld

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist. Robert Schumann
Indeed, the existence of class, of social hierarchy, is as old as man himself.

It was appealing in antiquity, and, throughout the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, they're always portrayed as heroic, courageous, and the equals of men, and that's just extremely attractive and has been since antiquity. Adrienne Mayor

Ellen G. White

I'm basically different things to different people.

I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word 'feminism' because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man.

Are they not their heritage as well as yours? W. E. B. Du Bois

I think human society for tens of thousands of years has sent young men out in small groups to do things that are necessary but very dangerous. And they've always gotten killed doing it.
