cat men vanity
The vanity of man revolts from the serene indifference of the cat.
writing men generosity
Letter-writing on the part of a busy man or woman is the quintessence of generosity.
men enjoy-life leisure
It is in his pleasure that a man really lives.
believe men grace
Men who believe that, through some exceptional grace or good fortune, they have found God, feel little need of culture.
inspirational men ideas
A man who listens because he has nothing to say can hardly be a source of inspiration. The only listening that counts is that of the talker who alternately absorbs and expresses ideas.
pain fate men
Now the pessimist proper is the most modest of men. ... under no circumstances does he presume to imagine that he, a mere unit of pain, can in any degree change or soften the remorseless words of fate.
men envy selfishness
Need drives men to envy as fullness drives them to selfishness.
men thinking giving
I do strive to think well of my fellow man, but no amount of striving can give me confidence in the wisdom of a congressional vote.
men political life-is
The man who never tells an unpalatable truth 'at the wrong time' (the right time has yet to be discovered) is the man whose success in life is fairly well assured.
dog cat men
A man who owns a dog is, in every sense of the words, its master; the term expresses accurately their mutual relations. But it is ridiculous when applied to the limited possession of a cat.
strong men law
The sanguine assurance that men and nations can be legislated into goodness, that pressure from without is equivalent to a moral change within, needs a strong backing of inexperience.
lying drinking men
if a man be discreet enough to take to hard drinking in his youth, before his general emptiness is ascertained, his friends invariably credit him with a host of shining qualities which, we are given to understand, lie balked and frustrated by his one unfortunate weakness.
men thinking age
The age of credulity is every age the world has ever known. Men have always turned from the ascertained, which is limited and discouraging, to the dubious, which is unlimited and full of hope for everybody.
strong home men
Tea had come as a deliverer to a land that called for deliverance; a land of beef and ale, of heavy eating and abundant drunkenness; of gray skies and harsh winds; of strong-nerved, stout-purposed, slow-thinking men and women. Above all, a land of sheltered homes and warm firesides - firesides that were waiting - waiting for the bubbling kettle and the fragrant breath of tea.
