A man polished to the nail.
- quote by Horace
A man protesting against error is on the way towards uniting himself with all men that believe in truth.
- quote by Thomas Carlyle
A man! A man! My kingdom for a man!
- quote by John Marston
A man's a man for a' that!
- quote by Robert Burns
A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
- quote by Richard Monckton Milnes
- quote by Laurence Sterne
A man's ingress into the world is naked and bare, His progress through the world is trouble and care; And lastly, his egress out of the world, is nobody knows where. If we do well here, we shall do well there; I can tell you no more if I preach a whole year.
- quote by John Edwin
A marriage so free, so spontaneous, that it would allow of wide excursions of the pair from each other, in common or even in separate objects of work and interest, and yet would hold them all the time in the bond of absolute sympathy, would by its very freedom be all the more poignantly attractive, and by its very scope and breadth all the richer and more vital -- would be in a sense indestructible.
- quote by Edward Carpenter
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
- quote by Eleanor Roosevelt
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!
- quote by Charles Dickens
