confess false humor lack men
Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?
war men mind
As wounded men may limp through life, so our war minds may not regain the balance of their thoughts for decades.
book reading men
There ought to be some sign in a book about man, that the writer knows thoroughly one man at least.
heart adventure men
Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance?
humor men wigs
Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?

Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole.
memories men littles
One learns little more about a man from his feats of literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.
men cities office
If a large city can, after intense intellectual efforts, choose for its mayor a man who merely will not steal from it, we consider it a triumph of the suffrage.

I have found some of the best reasons I ever had for remaining at the bottom simply by looking at the men at the top.
feats learns man
One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.
man people studied
A 'new thinker', when studied closely, is merely a man who does not know what other people have thought.
anger anybody feeling generally left particular
I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
waiting temptation march
When temptations march monotonously in regiments, one waits for to pass.
mind way arriving
We do not mind our not arriving anywhere nearly so much as our not having any company on the way.
