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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of content will I find on this Man quotes page?

Is this page only serious, or is there humor too?
There's a mix of tones.
