Thoughts for our time: The way to being a man

“A Man does what he must in spite of person consequences, in spite of obstacles, and dangers and pressures- and that is the basis of all human morality”
Winston Churchill

“ We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort; the man who never wrongs his neghbour, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“The greatest thing a man can possibly do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other. It is not a question of what someone else can do or become which every youth should ask himself, but what can I do? How can I develop myself into the grandest possible manhood?”
Orison Swett Marden

“A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.”
Marcus Aurelius

“ It is not what he has, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.”
Henri –Frederic Amiel

“ The way of a superior man is three fold: Virtuous- he is free from anxieties; wise- he is free from perplexities; bold- he is free from fear”
Confucius

“This is the test of your manhood: How much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of your self?”
Orison Swett Marden

“ To be as a man you must life as a lion or die like a sheep.”

Viking proverb
