Man Quotes

Short lines on character, patience and what it means to be a man.

This is a smaller, general collection of quotes touching on manhood, character and patience. One well-known line uses golf as an example, a test of temperament disguised as a leisure game, to make a wider point about what reveals a man's spirit. For steadier, values-driven lines, see our Good quotes.

Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.

Quotes by Pearl S. Buck

A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.

Quotes by Pearl S. Buck

Let woman out of the home, let man into it, should be the aim of education. The home needs man, and the world outside needs woman.

Quotes by Pearl S. Buck

Quotes by Paulo Costanzo

When you get to the level that I'm at, often you are a very lonely man.

Quotes by Paulo Dybala

Quotes by Pauly Shore

I love doing TV. It's such a breakneck pace, you know. It's kiss and go with your leading man. You meet them in the morning and go right into a clinch. The filming is over before you know their last...

Quotes by Paulette Goddard

I used to think the word 'feminist' reeked of insecurity. A woman who needed to state that she was equal to a man might as well be shouting that she was smart or brave. If you were, you wouldn't need...

Quotes by Paulina Porizkova

When a man gets up to speak, people listen then look. When a woman gets up, people kook; then, if they like what they see, they listen.

Quotes by Pauline Frederick

I want a man, but I want a man that also wants to embrace his inner child.

Quotes by Paula Patton

If you spend any time with a man, you'll realize that we're all still little boys.

Quotes by Paul Walker

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.

Quotes by Paul Weller

Quotes by Paul Weller

'Catcher in the Rye' changed my life when I was a kid. I read it as I was a boy turning into a man, and I was so fascinated by the values. I believe in it.

Quotes by Paul Wesley
