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.

Man, I'm not trying to be important; I just go out and play.

Quotes by Carmelo Anthony

Quotes by Carlos Santana

A man should look effortless and classic. It's such a turnoff if a man is too well groomed or trendy.

Quotes by Carlson Young
