Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.

But it is a blessed provision of nature that at times like these, as soon as a man's mercury has got down to a certain point there comes a revulsion, and he rallies. Hope springs up, and cheerfulness along with it, and then he is in good shape to do something for himself, if anything can be done.

Mark Twain

It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible.

Henry Ward Beecher

Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for it.

Earl Warren

Men insist that they don

Elizabeth Gould Davis

When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

Morgan Freeman

For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.Bacon was referring to Jesus

Francis Bacon, The Advancement o

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.

Calvin Coolidge

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. To begin with, it is a prison. But in some respects more cruel than a prison. In a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .In the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. In a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

George Bernard Shaw

Between Countess Nordston and Levin there had been established those relations, not infrequent in society, in which two persons, while ostensibly remaining on friendly terms, are contemptuous of each other to such a degree that they cannot even treat each other seriously and cannot even insult each one another.

Leo Tolstoy

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

General George Patton

Having a sharp tongue will cut your throat
