Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
Camille Paglia
Image
Manhood is patience. Mastery is nine time patience
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Manhood is melted into courtesies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.
William Shakespeare
Image
Turn thy thoughts now to the consideration of thy life, thy life as a child, as a youth, thy manhood, thy old age, for in these also every change was a death. Is this anything to fear?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Count me o'er earth's chosen heroes, - they were souls that stood alone, While the men they agonized for hurled the contumelious stone, Stood serene, and down the future saw the golden beam incline To the side of perfect justice, mastered by their faith divine, By one man's plain truth to manhood and to God's supreme design.
James Russell Lowell
Image
It is not necessary for a man to be actively bad in order to make a failure in life simple inaction will accomplish it. Nature has everywhere written her protest against idleness everything which ceases to struggle toward an ideal, the constant effort to get higher and further, which develops manhood and character.
James Terry White
Image
Take away a man's actual sense of manhood - which is conventionally based on the ability to work, to earn money, to be self-sufficient, to provide for children - and you've got to give them something else. And they did.
Fran Lebowitz
Image
The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the American definition of cowardice. In fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. The perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.
Jesse Jackson
Image
Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.
Frank Pittman
Image
The Greeks were the first boxers. Pugilism appears to have been one of the earliest distinctions in play and exercise that appeared between the Hellenes and their Asiatic fathers. The unarmed personal encounter was indicative of a sturdier manhood.
John Boyle O'Reilly
Image
Years ago, manhood was an opportunity for achievement, and now it is a problem to be overcome.
Garrison Keillor
Image
With respect to the development of powers devoted to coping with specific scientific and economic problems we may say that the child should be growing in manhood. With respect to sympathetic curiosity, unbiased responsiveness, and openness of mind, we may say that the adult should be growing in childlikeness.
John Dewey
Image
I learned that he that will be a hero will barely be a man that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work is sure of his manhood.
George MacDonald
Image
Each generation must assume the responsibility of securing their manhood, their womanhood, the definition of their being on earth that in the final analysis is nationhood.
John Henrik Clarke
Image
If men must die, why not in honorable pursuit of knowledge? Far be it that our ideas of manhood should be dwarfed to the size of a golden dollar.
George W. Melville
Image
This is the first great problem of modern democracy...how to get a fair living by reasonable hours of work leaving enough leisure for both childhood and manhood.
John R. Commons
Image
Sports is good for health and for children, it gives them manhood, courage, teaches them team work and coordination. Sports is something that is so crucial, it makes everything.
Hakeem Olajuwon
Image
Father had notions about manhood suffrage, public schools, the education and the elevation of the masses, and the gradual emancipation of the slaves, that did not suit the uncompromising views of people in places like Richmond.
John Sergeant Wise
Image
In the meanest are all the materials of manhood, only they are not rightly disposed.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I had seen so many begin to pack their lives in cotton woool, smother their impulses, hood their passions, and gradually retire from their manhood into a kind of spiritual and physical semi-invalidism. In this they are encouraged by wives and relatives, and it's such a sweet trap.
John Steinbeck
Image
Love makes its record in deeper colors as we grow out of childhood into manhood.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
More fundamentally, it is a dream that does not die with the onset of manhood: the dream is to play endlessly, past the time when you are called home for dinner, past the time of doing chores, past the time when your body betrays you past time itself.
John Thorn
Image
Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age.
Jose Rizal
