The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Wise men when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet give themselves the benefit of the doubt and remain silent.

The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains at the huge waves of the sea at the long courses of the rivers at the vast compass of the ocean at the circular motions of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

For most men life is a search for the proper manila envelope in which to get themselves filed.

Men are not against you they are merely for themselves.

Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest.
