If a man writes a book, let him set down only what he knows. I have guesses enough of my own. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. Nikola Tesla Man Virtue
To be honest I don't really know because I really didn't care when I was writing about mixing up reality with what was not reality. Sophie Marceau Reality
At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst. Aristotle Man
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition. Paul Dirac Poetry
Originality is not seen in single words or even sentences. Originality is the sum total of a man's thinking or his writing. Isaac Bashevis Singer Originality Thinking Words
I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man. George Washington Virtue
That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death. Emanuel Swedenborg Spirituality
Over a three year period, I gave away half of what I had. To be honest, my hands shook as I signed it away. I knew I was taking myself out of the race to be the richest man in the world. Ted Turner
We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names. Marcus Tullius Cicero Philosophy Desire Books Praise
I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience. Oliver Stone
Our moods do not believe in each other. To-day I am full of thoughts, and can write what I please. I see no reason why I should not have the same thought, the same power of expression, to-morrow. What I write, whilst I write it, seems the most natural thing in the world; but yesterday I saw a dreary vacuity in this direction in which now I see so much; and a month hence, I doubt not, I shall wonder who he was that wrote so many continuous pages. Alas for this infirm faith, this will not strenuous, this vast ebb of a vast flow! I am God in nature; I am a weed by the wall. Ralph Waldo Emerson Power Thinking
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing. Marcus Tullius Cicero Man Freedom
