In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
All of creation, in the biblical view, was to ultimately prepare the way for the creation of man. But one does not need the Bible alone to hold this view. A purely scientific reading of the universe is in keeping with this view. Everything - every natural and physical law - is exquisitely tuned to produce life, and ultimately man, on earth.
It is not every man who can be exquisitely miserable, any more than exquisitely happy.
A man's car is like an extension of their ego and their manhood.
The more extensive a man's knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do.
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
It's man's work. My dad was gone at 4:30 in the morning and home at 8 at night, and he worked underground, and the last mine he worked in was 26 inches high in a lot of places. He liked the engineering of it - he liked the moving the earth and being able to extract something and put it back for reclamation. He enjoyed the whole process.
A man, to read, must read alone. He may make extracts, he may work at books in company; but to read, to absorb, he must be solitary.
I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
My whole life I've actually been training to be a stunt man without realising it. I've always loved extreme sports, and I now I get paid for it.
Extremes in nature equal ends produce; In man they join to some mysterious use.
Man's extremity is God's opportunity.
At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society, which we call Western civilization, could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good, including life, to defend it.
I'm interested in the dark side of man. I'm interested in taboos, and murder is the greatest taboo. Characters are fascinating in their extremity, not in their happiness.
Hair on the eyebrow droops because of aging, so a groomed eyebrow on a man opens the eye and makes him looks younger.
Someone - a man - advised me not to become a news anchor because my eyelashes were too long, and they would distract the viewers.
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.
