False Belief

    Acknowledge your male characteristics. Celebrate them. Honor them. Turn them into a manhood that serves the world around you.

Most of all, do not fall prey to the false belief that mastery and domination are synonymous with manliness.
    Kent Nerburn (20th century)

    Much ado there was, God wot,
    He would love and she would not.
    She said, never man was true;
    He said, none was false to you.
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    This seems to be advanced as the surest basis for our belief in the existence of gods, that there is no race so uncivilized, no one in the world so barbarous that his mind has no inkling of a belief in gods.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
