I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

My mom always said that there would be haters. Not everyone can love ya.

I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet there would be no more wars.

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive but I have photographs of her.

Some old men continually praise the time of their youth. In fact you would almost think that there were no fools in their days but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.

One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men men are not united but merely lined up.

There is one thing women can never take away from men. We die sooner.

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction craving and despising never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.

There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.

There are more men ennobled by study than by nature.

There are but very few men clever enough to know all the mischief they do.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

There are one hundred men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.

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.

There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.

The highest prize in a world of men is the most beautiful woman available on your arm and living there in her heart loyal to you.

If all men knew what others say of them there would not be four friends in the world.

If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.

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

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.

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