Men are like the stars some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.

I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No six should be enough.'

If we became students of Malcolm X we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now or the alcoholism.

Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say but in the lives they lead.

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men between brothers?

I never yet feared those men who set a place apart in the middle of their cities where they gather to cheat one another and swear oaths which they break.

All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers.

I love all men who think even those who think otherwise than myself.

Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.

I believe in the brotherhood of all men but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.

You know when you're young and you see a play in high school and the guys all have gray in their hair and they're trying to be old men and they have no idea what that's like? It's just that stupid the other way around.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

What makes a woman beautiful is her loyalty to and her friendships with other women and her honesty with men.

Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.

Men exist for the sake of one another.

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive create or produce but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves their perceptions and emotions and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked.

I shall never be a heretic I may err in dispute but I do not wish to decide anything finally on the other hand I am not bound by the opinions of men.

I know war as few other men now living know it and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed blind eternal fate I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

Adversity causes some men to break others to break records.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
