Famous quotes containing the word men:

    “The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “She hears me strike the board and say
    That she is under ban
    Of all good men and women,
    Being mentioned with a man
    That has the worst of all bad names.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
