 Man is a piece of the universe made alive |
| Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world. |
| Man is physically as well as metaphysically a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start |
| Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage |
| Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. |
| Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love --now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows. |
| Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage |
| Manners make the fortune of the ambitious youth |
| Manners require time, as nothing is more vulgar than haste |
| Many time the reading of a book has made the future of a man. |
| Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books. |
| Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim. |
| Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner. |
| Men are lenses through which we read our own minds. |
| Men are respectable only as they respect |
