I enjoy talking to my football men and my chemistry classes and I feel sure that they are quite interested in what I have to say.

Most men, when they think they are thinking, are merely rearranging their prejudices.

It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.

Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.

Most people know no other way of judging men's worth but by the vogue they are in, or the fortunes they have met with.

No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.

Men often pass from love to ambition, but they seldom come back again from ambition to love.

Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.

A great many men's gratitude is nothing but a secret desire to hook in more valuable kindnesses hereafter.

Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.

Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.

Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.

What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.

There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.

There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.
