When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly.
A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match his words.
A man who prides himself on being better than his fellow-men thinks it a disgrace if he does not do something more than they do, whereby his superiority may be apparent.
The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.
A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than yesterday.
A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
A man has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.
It is every one's sacred duty to keep himself in a condition to do the biggest thing possible to him.
