We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an ec — Masculinity

"And gentlemen in England, now a-bed, Shall think themselves accursd, they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap, whiles any speaks, That fought with us upon Saint Crispins day."

"The man, whom I call deserving the name, is one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than himself."

"Ever since I arrived to a state of manhood, I have felt a sincere passion for liberty."

"Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws."

"In this life-long fight, to be waged by every one of us singlehanded against a host of foes, the last requisite for a good fight, the last proof and test of our courage and manfulness, must be loyalty to truth — the most rare and difficult of all human qualities. For such loyalty, as it grows in perfection, asks ever more and more of us, and sets before us a standard of manliness always rising higher and higher."

"In proportion as man gets back the spirit of manliness, which is self-sacrifice, affection, loyalty loan idea beyond himself, a God above himself, so far will he rise above circumstances, and wield them at his will."
