Men

Famous quotes containing the word men:

“The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“How cheap must be the material of which so many men are made!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
