Man Singh

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or singh:

“Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When a rich man’s dog died, everyone commiserated. When a poor man lost his mother, no one noticed.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
