Men Quotes

"Men always want to be a woman's first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we like is to be a man's last romance." ~ A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde "Once a gentleman, and always a gentleman." ~ Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens There is left in every man something of the primeval love of stalking. ~ Fraternity by John Galsworthy "I don't deny that an odd man here and there, if he's caught young and trained up proper, and if his mother has spanked him well beforehand, may turn out a decent being." ~ Anne's House of Dreams by Lucy Maud Montgomery By the cigars they smoke, and the composers they love, ye shall know the texture of men's souls. ~ The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy "Men prize the thing ungain'd more than it is." ~ Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy. ~ The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope "Oh, child, men's men: gentle or simple, they're much of a muchness." ~ Daniel Deronda by George Eliot Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! ~ The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne "We know, Mr. Weller - we, who are men of the world - that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later." ~ The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens
