I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state and all men of our time are in such a state.

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves they therefore remain bound.

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines the kind of men we are.

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive create or produce but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves their perceptions and emotions and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
