A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country

Nearly every man is a coward, if confronted by the proper terror.

When a man tells you what people are saying about you, tell him what people are saying about him; that will immediately take his mind off your troubles.

If a woman doesn't chase a man a little, she doesn't love him.

A religion that never suffices to govern a man will never suffice to save him; that which does not sufficiently distinguish one from a wicked world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.

Few men progress, except as they are pushed along by events.

The greatest thing in the world is for a man to be able to do something well, and say nothing about it.

Every man is a reformer until reform tramps on his toes.

When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.
