Men are seldom more commonplace than on supreme occasions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform - They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.
What we consider typical of the male is a question I ask myself quite often - it's relevant to my life as an actor and as a man.
It is folly to expect men to do all that they may reasonably be expected to do.
There hardly can be a greater difference between any two men, than there too often is, between the same man, a lover and a husband.
It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men.
Men are only as great as they are kind.
No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.
I believe it is universally understood and acknowledged that all men will ever act correctly, unless they have a motive to do otherwise.
Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.
