With so many misconceptions about what it means to be a man, and so many men living far below the standard, we all need to put forth the greatest effort to help boys and men be real men!
"At each moment in man's life, he is either a King or a slave. As he surrenders to a wrong appetite, to any human weakness; as he falls prostrate in hopeless subjection to any condition, to any environment, to any failure, he is a slave. As he day by day crushes out human weakness, masters opposing elements within him, and day by day re-creates a new self from the sin and folly of his past, - then he is a King. He is a King ruling with wisdom over himself. Alexander conquered the whole world except, Alexander. Emperor of the earth, he was the servile slave of his own passions." -William George Jordan (Self Control Its Kingship & Majesty)
“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” Thomas Paine
“A gentleman differs from other men in that he retains his heart. A gentleman retains his heart by means of benevolence.” Mencius
"There is in certain men … a quality of resilience, a sturdy refusal to acknowledge defeat, which aids them as effectively in the affairs of the heart as in encounters of a sterner and more practical kind."
