According to the dictionary: "In modern apprehension man as thus used" [in the sense of "person"] "primarily denotes the male sex,... though by implication referring also to women." I am not sure that "by implication" fully expresses the degree to which I wish to feel included in the human race.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
As fathers, men often feel either like guests in their own homes or clumsy bulls in china shops, deferring to their wives as the "...emotional experts" and squelching their own wish to be fully involved.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I believe it is only necessary that England be fully awakened to a sense of her position, in order that she may right herself, esp...ecially as the weather will soon cease to be her foe. I wish I could believe that the cause in which you are embarked is the cause of the people of England. However, I have no sympathy with the idleness that would contrast this fighting with the teachings of the pulpit; for, perchance, more virtue is being practiced at Sevastopol than in many years of peace. It is a pity that we seem to require a war, from time to time, to assure us that there is any manhood still left in man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When Abraham Lincoln penned the immortal emancipation proclamation he did not stop to inquire whether every man and every woman in... Southern slavery did or did not want to be free. Whether women do or do not wish to vote does not affect the question of their right to do so.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?" Haman said to himself,... "Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have pr...ophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
