A man who won’t listen can’t hear.
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools, if we live long enough.
A man who tells secrets or stories must think of who is hearing or reading, for a story has as many versions as it has readers.
A man who makes enemies in one place will make them in another.
A man who keeps calm has always a great advantage.
A man who is not a father to his children can never be a real man.
A man who had never spoken love to me, who had never needed to, for I knew he loved me, as surely as I knew I lived. For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary. It is all. It is undying. And it is enough.
A man who fights for coin is loyal only to his purse.
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
A man who can’t enjoy a drink isn’t a man at all.
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attention and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can’t help looking like a sheep.
A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things.
