Manhood

Famous quotes containing the word manhood:

    “I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Only when manhood is dead—and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it—only then will we know what it is to be free.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
