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.

The man who has millions will want everything he can lay his hands on and then raise his voice against the poor devil who wants ten cents more a day.

What I need to do is have a great positive attitude and a great work ethic. Those two things validate me. Yes, it’s important that I have good numbers, and I’m well-respected as a player. But I think it’s more important that I’m respected as a man. — David Robinson
What clever man has ever needed to commit a crime? Crime is the last resort of political half-wits. — Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

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 am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me. — Tracee Ellis Ross

Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. — Robert A. Heinlein

No man who respects his mother or loves his sister, can speak disparagingly of any woman; however low she may seem to have sunk, she is still a woman. I want every man to remember this. Every woman is, or, at some time, has been a sister or daughter. — Victoria Woodhull
I just want to be who I am. I think all women go through the belief that they need to be superwoman – that to be successful in any way, and I don’t necessarily mean in business or anything, but just to be a successful person, you have to be superwoman. — Cindy McCain

As a result of 50 years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males.

It’s not like I was trying to be sexy but I had to get fit because I had to be able to do stunts.

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 was given such a great gift. It’s a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose.

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
I speak about androids because I think the android represents the new ‘other.’ You can compare it to being a lesbian or being a gay man or being a black woman … What I want is for people who feel oppressed or feel like the ‘other’ to connect with the music and to feel like, ‘She represents who I am.’ — Janelle Monae
What Joe Hamilton lacked more than anything else in the world was some one to kick him.

I’m performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!’ — Demetri Martin

Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him. — David Spangler
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
You look like a handsome young man…although you might want to zip your fly. Mom! What? Should I have not told you and left it for everyone else to notice at the dance? — Jordan Sonnenblick

This is the eternal origin of art that a human being confronts a form that wants to become a work through him. Not a figment of his soul but something that appears to the soul and demands the soul’s creative power. What is required is a deed that a man does with his whole being. — Martin Buber

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.

When I was a young man I heard Henry Barley say that the world has yet to see what God can do for a man fully yielded to Him, and I said I wanted to be that man. But I can say today the world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully yielded to Him. — Dwight L. Moody
