1 " On the surface, I was calm: in secret, without really admitting it, I was waiting for something. Her return? How could I have been waiting for that? We all know that we are material creatures, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and not even the power of all our feelings combined can defeat those laws. All we can do is detest them. The age-old faith of lovers and poets in the power of love, stronger than death, that finis vitae sed non amoris, is a lie, useless and not even funny. So must one be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition? That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox...

Must I go on living here then, among the objects we both had touched, in the air she had breathed? In the name of what? In the hope of her return? I hoped for nothing. And yet I lived in expectation. Since she had gone, that was all that remained. I did not know what achievements, what mockery, even what tortures still awaited me. I knew nothing, and I persisted in the faith that the time of cruel miracles was not past. "

― Stanisław Lem , Solaris

2 " The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it. "

― Patti Digh , Life Is a Verb: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally

3 " Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now. "

― Joss Whedon

4 " The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. "

― John F. Kennedy

5 " Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise

As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind-- "

― Emily Dickinson

6 " Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it. "

― René Descartes

7 " Hey!" Caleb snapped as he realized Nick was about to lock him on the outside with their attackers. He pushed the door open and glared at him. " No man left behind." Nick scoffed. " This aint' the army, boy. It's every man for himself. Fall behind. Get eaten "

8 " Do not trouble about those who practice philosophy, whether they are good or bad; but examine the thing itself well and carefully. And if philosophy appears a bad thing to you, turn every man from it, not only your sons; but if it appears to you such as I think it to be, take courage, pursue it, and practice it, as the saying is, 'both you and your house. "

― Socrates

9 " The priest therefore saw what the anchorite could not. That God needs no witness. Neither to himself nor against. The truth is rather that if there were no God then there could be no witness for there could be no identity to the world but only each man's opinion of it. The priest saw that there is no man who is elect because there is no man who is not. To God every man is a heretic. "

― Cormac McCarthy

10 " It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth. "

― Albert Schweitzer

11 " Nothing is easier than self-deceit.
For what every man wishes,
that he also believes to be true. "

― Demosthenes

12 " Reproach is infinite, and knows no end
So voluble a weapon is the tongue;
Wounded, we wound; and neither side can fail
For every man has equal strength to rail. "

― Homer

13 " If all men are made in God's reflection, then why do some people continue to acknowledge only what is in their part of the mirror? If every man was created equal and in the image of God, then how can any man claim that one race is better than another? "

― , Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

14 " In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love. One of the greatest trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear. "

― Fulton J. Sheen , Three to Get Married

15 " God created every man to be free. The ability to choose whether to live free or enslaved, right or wrong, happy or in fear is something called freewill. Every man was born with freewill. Some people use it, and some people use any excuse not to. Nobody can turn you into a slave unless you allow them. Nobody can make you afraid of anything, unless you allow them. Nobody can tell you to do something wrong, unless you allow them. God never created you to be a slave, man did. God never created division or set up any borders between brothers, man did. God never told you hurt or kill another, man did. And in the end, when God asks you: " Who told you to kill one of my children?" And you tell him, " My leader." He will then ask you, " And are THEY your GOD? "

16 " Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. "

― A.W. Tozer , The Pursuit of God: The Human Thirst for the Divine

17 " No man was born empty, every man was born with a worth. "

18 " We fail to often realize that every man has an innate worth. "

― , Create Your Own Net Worth

19 " It is unfortunate that many people today cannot appreciate the value that every man possesses. "

― , Create Your Own Net Worth

20 " Every man you see upon the earth has some value within him already, hence you should treat every man you come across on earth with that worth and appreciation. "
