1 " There is a place in this world for the timid man; it is on the sidelines. "
― Michael Kurcina , We Fight Monsters: Wisdom and inspiration that speak to the warrior's soul
2 " In every man’s life comes a road sign warning him of a dark path ahead but he goes down it anyhow. "
3 " Just because a man’s spirit can take a lot of beatings doesn’t mean his mind holds a lot of sense. "
4 " Every man stands upon the world’s stage but few want their life to be seen at the thrust or the proscenium. "
5 " Men are not changed by fame, no, they change for fame. "
6 " Men who cannot appreciate the blessings of friendships might never understand their curse of loneliness. "
7 " There is nothing new that will ever come out of old earth. A man is a man is man and anything else is an imitation despite the curious phenomena promoted in modern circles about what is authentic. "
8 " Blessed to be a beast that feels and reasons not than to be a man cursed with a huge heart and brains. "
9 " Man, longs to be divine like all the lights in the cosmos; until he understands his calling, he is nothing but a lamppost. "
10 " Let others deny the value of your warrior class but all will agree when you pass, "there goes a man. "
11 " Like some odd politician most men exist in a perpetual state of apology with the world and one of constant flagellation with themselves. "
12 " Such a simple yet sacred thing to know that you are a man but so profane to doubt it. "
13 " Brutal men clumsy in skill weave a warped pattern of their life and wonder how they become entangled in it. "
14 " Unless a man already has it together, attempting to live more manfully by moving to Hollywood is no different than an elephant going to a graveyard to prevent itself from dying. "
15 " Men who have difficulty forgiving themselves for acting like animals may have even greater difficulty forgiving themselves when they act like men. "
16 " Do you think you are a man because you fight? Yes, what kind of broken thing would you be if there wasn’t that natural struggle inside? "
17 " Who doesn’t know how to be an animal? Share with me only your secrets on how to be a man. "
18 " A dog doesn’t know if it is dumb; neither does a dumb man but dumb dogs make good friends, dumb men don’t. "
19 " Men who refuse to acknowledge the obvious gravity of their circumstance are most deserving when they are crushed by its weight. "
20 " We destroy masculinity in America by doing more than just inculcating timidity in boys and promoting swaggering as a sin. We replace what’s been tried and tested with what is worthless and unwanted when all a boy wants to do is prove himself as a man. We crush a boy’s childlike faith in what is most probable about being a man and leave him doubting if masculinity is even a fact found within him. The new society makes it a heresy to believe in ancient truths. "
