It was men who stopped slavery. It was men who ran up the stairs in the Twin Towers to rescue people. It was men who gave up their seats on the lifeboats of the Titanic. Men are made to take risks and live passionately on behalf of others.

People who are short, they're often portrayed as the victim.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

Men and women whose early youth was shaped in the ordeal of the Great Depression showed the values formed in that crucible when tyranny threatened a world.

The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!

Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.

There are two types of men: the great and the small.

Few great men would have got past personnel.

Free men are the strongest men.

I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women.
