I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.

Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you’re in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone.

I thought the only way to do that was to work out and get fit and buff and get physically into shape. — Daniel Craig
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away,If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.

I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament.

Any man of energy and initiative can get what he wants out of life.

There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. — Robert A. Heinlein

What Joe Hamilton lacked more than anything else in the world was some one to kick him.

To me, the labor movement was never just a way of getting higher wages. What appealed to me was the spiritual side of a great cause that created fellowship. You wanted the girl or the man who worked beside you to be treated just as well as you were, and an injury to one was the concern of all. — Rose Schneiderman
I can do as much work as any man … We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much. What we want is a little money. You men know that you get as much again as women when you write, or for what you do. When we get our rights, we shall not have to come to you for money, for then we shall have money enough of our own. — Sojourner Truth

So by all means let’s have a television show quick and long, even if the commercial has to be delivered by a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, selling ergot pills.
