Franz Liszt Quotes

I like guys who, no matter what, are men.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten', he does not say 'My men were beaten.'

To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.

Growing up, we tend to challenge each other. We've got to be the toughest, the strongest, the bravest men that we can be. And for many of us, myself included, our identities are wrapped up in whether or not at the end of the day we feel like we're man enough.

Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men's movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.

Think about a guy like Bob Mitchum, with his kind of chest gut not defining itself one way or the other. Was there anybody tougher? Lee Marvin was a marine sniper during the Second World War. They had this sense of themselves, and they had this product of being a man in a masculine way.

Remember those black-and-white films with Frank Sinatra? Those guys looked like men and they were only 27! Listen to Otis Redding singing 'Try A Little Tenderness'. That was a man who understood what a man has to know in the world. Show me a real man now! Where are they?

Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.

My dad set a clear model for me for what manhood was all about.

Never apologize, mister. It's a sign of weakness.

Lots of men have failed as presidents, as Trump surely will, but few fail so dismally as role models. He's a boy's idea of a man. He's a man's idea of a boy.

My dad is a true man. A man's man. Every manly thing he does, he does so well.

Men back up their words. Little boys run away.

Real men know how to move as real men. Real men won't allow themselves to be disrespected. Real men aren't punks.

Peter Norman's a man's man.

A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

Growing up, I was taught that a man has to defend his family. When the wolf is trying to get in, you gotta stand in the doorway.

It was men who stopped slavery. It was men who ran up the stairs in the Twin Towers to rescue people. It was men who gave up their seats on the lifeboats of the Titanic. Men are made to take risks and live passionately on behalf of others.

The ability to accept responsibility is the measure of the man.

As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.

The true measure of a man is what he would do if he knew he would never be caught.

I want it understood that all these men fought for principle, not for plunder, and that they were true-hearted, honorable soldiers, fighting for what they esteemed was a righteous cause.

It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
