- quote by William Shakespeare
Forget the brother and resume the man.
- quote by Homer
Give me that man That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart As I do thee.
- quote by William Shakespeare
Give us a man of God's own mould Born to marshall his fellow-men; One whose fame is not bought and sold At the stroke of a politician's pen. Give us the man of thousands ten, Fit to do as well as to plan; Give us a rallying-cry, and then Abraham Lincoln, give us a Man.
- quote by Edmund Clarence Stedman
God gave man an upright countenance to survey the heavens, and to look upward to the stars.
- quote by Ovid
God give us men. A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands! Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy, Men who possess opinions and a will, Men who love honor, men who cannot lie.
- quote by Josiah Gilbert Holland

He only fears men who does not know them, and he who avoids them will soon misjudge them.
- quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
