Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
~ Marlene Dietrich
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Blind submission in women is considered a virtue, while submission to wrong is itself wrong, and resistance to wrong is virtue alike in women as in man.
~ Ernestine Rose
I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.
~ Gilda Radner
Women are only children of a larger growth. A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.
~ Philip Stanhope
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.

~ Hugh Grant
A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.
Like many other women, I could not understand why every man who changed a diaper has felt impelled, in recent years, to write a book about it.
~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.
~ Cher
This man is frank and earnest with women. In Fresno, he's Frank and in Chicago he's Ernest.

~ Kenny Loggins
Southern women often marry a man knowing that he is the father of many little slaves. They do not trouble themselves about it.
~ Harriet Ann Jacobs
It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.

Yes, it is worse than thrown away, because every fair minded man must admit that the expenditure of this sum of money in the county for intoxicating liquor creates lawlessness, makes criminals, wrecks homes and brings trouble to innocent women and children.
~ Thomas Jordan Jarvis
Until Eve arrived, this was a man's world.
~ Richard Armour

~ Cornelius Vanderbilt
I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe is enough to make a bad man show him at his best, or even a good man swings his lantern higher.
~ William Butler Yeats
The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
~ Robert E. Lee
If a man does his best, what else is there?
~ George S. Patton
