If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state and all men of our time are in such a state.

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves they therefore remain bound.

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.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Wise men when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet give themselves the benefit of the doubt and remain silent.

The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains at the huge waves of the sea at the long courses of the rivers at the vast compass of the ocean at the circular motions of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.

Men are not against you they are merely for themselves.

Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first they seek to secure themselves against attack and then they attack others.

Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which left unchecked can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.

I can help a lot of other people who've gone through the same thing by building a center that will help men and women who don't have the funds to take care of themselves and get the medical treatment.

Who of us is mature enough for offspring before the offspring themselves arrive? The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.

A woman asking 'Am I good? Am I satisfied?' is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves the less they talk to other women the more they try to please their husbands the happier the marriage is going to be.

I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves and if you're not comfortable within yourself you can't be comfortable with others.
