Men don’t and can’t live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don’t live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions and take that of laborers Unions.
John Ruskin
Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs.
Walter Lippmann
The most positive men are the most credulous.
Alexander Pope
Many men are deeply moved by the mere semblance of suffering in a woman they take the look of pain for a sign of constancy or of love.
Honore de Balzac
I know many married men, I even know a few happily married men, but I don’t know one who wouldn’t fall down the first open coal hole running after the first pretty girl who gave him a wink.
George Jean Nathan
No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church – things like that – I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.
Jimmy Carter
A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
The same principles which at first view lead to skepticism, pursued to a certain point, bring men back to common sense.
George Berkeley
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
I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts – the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.
Richard Wagner
