It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.
Julius Caesar

Men willingly believe what they wish.
Julius Caesar

Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.
Julius Caesar

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.
Julius Caesar

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.
Marcus Aurelius

Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus Aurelius

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
George S. Patton

As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
George S. Patton

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.
Jean-Paul Sartre

It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.
Jean-Paul Sartre

I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
George S. Patton

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
George S. Patton

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine

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.
Saint Augustine

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Saint Augustine

Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
