One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.
I went to a segregated school; I was born a Negro, not a black man.
MLK, Jr. taught me how to say no to segregation, and I can hear him saying now... when you straighten up your back, no man can ride you. He said stand up straight and say no to racial discrimination.
Great and good are seldom the same man.
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization.
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
We live with a distinct double standard about male and female aggression. Women's aggression isn't considered real. It isn't dangerous; it's only cute. Or it's always self-defense or otherwise inspired by a man. In the rare case where a woman is seen as genuinely responsible, she is branded a monster - an 'unnatural' woman.
It is self-evident that at sixty-five a man has done all that he is fit to do.
I like when a man has a positive self-image, no matter what he looks like. I'm not into rock-hard abs.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
My main goal is to be a self-made man and have control over what's mine.
A self-made man may prefer a self-made name.
A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others.
The self-made man that some people believe is a myth? It could be, because you do it on the backs of other people.
Gerald Boyd was a classic specimen of the self-made man. Born poor, he worked and studied his way up out of poverty under the guidance of his widowed grandmother.
Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity.
I joined the army because I was a very self-sufficient young man. I always wanted to stand on my own two feet.
A self-taught man usually has a poor teacher and a worse student.
Prince was a hero. He was the brother, the black man that was a little different. As a kid, you thought, 'Wow, he's different. If he can do it, I can do it.' I read that he was self-taught, so I started teaching myself to play the piano.
