Shy Younger Men

Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:

    “The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery.

    —Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    “The younger brother must help to pay for the pleasures of the elder.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    “But if you know that you are a man too, and that even such are those that rule, learn this first of all: that all human affairs are a wheel which, as it turns, does not allow the same men always to be fortunate.”
    —Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
