I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.
The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.
A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.
It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.
A man's real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love.
One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.
It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.
In civilized life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.
Every man should be considered as having a right to the character which he deserves; that is, to be spoken of according to his actions.
Why, except as a means of livelihood, a man should desire to act on the stage when he has the whole world to act in, is not clear to me.
