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.

Quotes by Betty Dodson

Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim.

Quotes by Betty Friedan

A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man's advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.

Quotes by Betty Friedan

You're better off betting on a horse than betting on a man. A horse may not be able to hold you tight, but he doesn't wanna wander from the stable at night.

Quotes by Betty Grable

The woman's vision is deep reaching, the man's far reaching.

Quotes by Betty Grable

With the man the world is his heart, with the woman the heart is her world.

Quotes by Betty Grable

I married a man who was jealous about everything. If I got enthusiastic about a book, about a flower, about a place, about a human being - jealous. 'Don't do it! Stop.' It was depressing, and I couldn't take it.

Quotes by Betty Parsons

I looked over and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way he was galloping it looked as though he was going someplace much more...

I don't believe in trouble. Because I think that trouble is sometimes good, sometimes bad. I've been known to be called trouble, which I think is quite a compliment. But I suppose, thinking about it, that my best and worst...

Quotes by Beth Orton

Quotes by Beth Moore

You know, every time it comes, every time that light comes on or every time that camera comes on, every time that microphone comes on, the Mac Man seek and destroy.

Quotes by Bernie Mac

I want to do something that people can really say, 'Hey, man, that was good, I'm proud of you, I'm proud of that.' 'Pride' and 'Transformers' and things like that.

Quotes by Bernie Mac
