For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not the truth that a man possesses, or believes that he possesses, but the earnest effort which he puts forward to reach the truth, which constitutes the worth of a man.
It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.
It is good to know what a man is, and also what the world takes him for. But you do not understand him until you have learnt how he understands himself.
Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.
The essence of a man is found in his faults.
Having achieved and accomplished love... man... has become himself, his tale is told.
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
A man is the sum of his actions, of what he has done, of what he can do, Nothing else.
