Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.

Men have to do some awfully mean things to keep up their respectability.

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

Old men are dangerous: it doesn’t matter to them what is going to happen to the world.

Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.

Life levels all men. Death reveals the eminent.

Power does not corrupt men fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

If women were particular about men’s characters, they would never get married at all.
