The gospel is a reasonable system, and it appeals to men's understanding; it is a matter for thought and consideration, and it appeals to the conscience and reflecting powers. (Charles Spurgeon)
When men's hearts are melted under the preaching of the word, or by sickness, or the loss of friends, believers should be very eager to stamp the truth upon the prepared mind. Such opportunities are to be seized with holy eagerness. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
There is no evil in the atom; only in men's souls. View quote
Adlai Stevenson II
Women watched for the spectacular performances of the men, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the presence of an audience is a very important factor in shaping the men's behavior. In fact, it is probable that the men are more exhibitionistic because the women admire their performances. Conversely, there can be no doubt that the spectacular behavior is a stimulus which summons the audience together, promoting in the women the appropriate behavior. View quote
Gregory Bateson
History, in [Nietzsche's] view, belongs to him who is fighting a great fight, and who needs examples, teachers and comforters, but cannot find them among his contemporaries. Without history the mountain chain of great men's great moments, which runs through millennia, could not stand clearly and vividly before me. View quote
Georg Brandes
Thus must we toil in other men's extremes, That know not how to remedy our own. View quote
Thomas Kyd
I believe that Communism is necessary to the world, and I believe that the heroism of Russia has fired men's hopes in a way which was essential to the realization of Communism in the future. Regarded as a splendid attempt, without which ultimate success would have been very improbable, Bolshevism deserves the gratitude and admiration of all the progressive part of mankind. View quote
Bertrand Russell
To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing. View quote
Theodore Roosevelt
Evolution teaches us the original purpose of language was to ritualize men's threats and curses, his spells to compel the gods; communication came later. View quote
Gene Wolfe
Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to drink other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits. View quote
Walter Bagehot
My essays . . . come home, to men's business, and bosoms. (Francis Bacon)
I have gathered a posy of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own. View quote
Michel de Montaigne
It is probably true to say that the largest scope for change still lies in men's attitude to women, and in women's attitude to themselves. View quote
Vera Brittain
Maidens hearts are always soft: Would that men's were truer! View quote
William Cullen Bryant
In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men's thinking. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Old men's prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them. View quote
Euripides
Men's weaknesses are often necessary to the purposes of life. View quote
Maurice Maeterlinck
It is not because men's desires are strong that they act ill; it is because their consciences are weak. View quote

Kenneth Boulding
Remember this son, if you forget everything else. A poet is a musician who can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart. And, some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly, no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens. View quote
Patrick Rothfuss
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second - comics, picnic tables, men's trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all. (Andy Warhol)
I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine; every man for himself, and God for us all. View quote
Miguel de Cervantes
Facts, facts, facts,' cries the scientist if he wants to emphasize the necessity of a firm foundation for science. What is a fact? A fact is a thought that is true. But the scientist will surely not recognize something which depends on men's varying states of mind to be the firm foundation of science. View quote
Gottlob Frege
I am but a gatherer and disposer of other men's stuff. View quote
Henry Wotton
Let the poet dream his dreams. Yet, the poet must look at the world; must enter into other men's lives; must look at the earth and the sky, must examine the dust in the street; must walk through the world and his mirror. View quote
William Baziotes
