Quote by -Samuel Johnson
There are two men in each one of us: the scientist, he who starts with a clear field and desires to rise to the knowledge of Nature through observations, experimentation and reasoning, and the man of sentiment, the man of belief, the man who mourns his dead children, and who cannot, alas, prove that he will see them again, but who believes that he will, and lives in the hope – the man who will not die like a vibrio, but who feels that the force that is within him cannot die.
Quote by -Louis Pasteur

"I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"A man must be forced to choose. It is only when you are forced to choose that you know what is important to you."

"It was no joy waking up after a dream about that man. He left a taste of thunder in my mouth."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a 'universal' without patriotism, without home who has found his people everywhere."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"The picket line is the best place to train organizers. One day on the picket line is where a man makes his commitment. The longer on the picket line, the stronger the commitment. A lot of workers think they make their commitment by walking off the job when nobody sees them. But you get a guy to walk off the field when his boss is watching and, in front of the other guys, throw down his tools and march right to the picket line, that is the guy who makes our strike. The picket line is a beautiful thing because it makes a man more human."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We have suffered unnumbered ills and crimes in the name of the Law of the Land. Our men, women and children have suffered not only the basic brutality of stoop labor, and the most obvious injustices of the system; they have also suffered the desperation of knowing that the system caters to the greed of callous men and not to our needs. Now we will suffer for the purpose of ending the poverty, the misery, and the injustice, with the hope that our children will not be exploited as we have been. They have imposed hungers on us, and now we hunger for justice."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"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."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"When the man who feeds the world by toiling in the fields is himself deprived of the basic rights of feeding, sheltering, and caring for his own family, the whole community of man is sick."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"When a man or woman, young, or old, takes a place on the picket line for even a day or two, he will never be the same again."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"We are certain God's will is that all men share in the good things this earth produces."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Words impress me. If a man can speak eloquently and beautifully to me, I just melt on the floor."
Quote by -Catherine Zeta-Jones
"The mutual distrust between the men who were just awakened and those who were ending a long night gave everyone a feeling of estrangement."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"When lovely woman stoops to folly, and finds too late that men betray, what charm can soothe her melancholy, what art can wash her guilt away?"
Quote by -Oliver Goldsmith
"A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond."
Quote by -Oliver Goldsmith
"Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates, and men decay."
Quote by -Oliver Goldsmith
"Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"We have seen when the earth had to be prepared for the habitation of man, a veil, as it were, of intermediate being was spread between him and its darkness, in which were joined in a subdued measure, the stability and insensibility of the earth, and the passion and perishing of mankind."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"It is not, truly speaking, the labor that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men --broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills."
Quote by -Ambrose Bierce
