Man Quotes

We arc the miracle of miracles, the great inscrutable mystery of God.

We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.

What a chimera, then, is man! what a novelty, what a monster, what a chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! A judge of all things, feeble worm of the earth, depositary of the truth, cloaca of uncertainty and error, the glory and the shame of the universe!

What a deal of cold business doth a man misspend the better part of life in! In scattering compliments, tendering visits, gathering and venting news, following feasts and plays, making a little winter-love in a dark corner.

What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!

When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.

When man is a brute, he is the most sensual and loathsome of all brutes.

Who dares do all that may become a man, and dares no more, he is a man indeed.
