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.

Quotes by David Heyman

The infinite! No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man.
