A man of fifty is responsible for his face. — © Edwin M. Stanton
A man of fifty is responsible for his face.
By the age of forty, a man is responsible for his face. And his fate.
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
We do not wish to say only that a man is responsible for his own individuality, but that he is responsible for that of all men.
Let it be henceforth proclaimed to the world that man's conscience was created free; that he is no longer accountable to his fellow man for his religious opinions, being responsible therefore only to his God.

It is more than probable that the average man could, with no injury to his health, increase his efficiency fifty percent.
Death isn't enough. It doesn't remove the stain. But a slap, a whiplash, square on the face, does. Because a man's face is as sacred as his mother or his wife.
Bodily pain affects man as a whole down to the deepest layers of his moral being. It forces him to face again the fundamental questions of his fate, of his attitude toward God and fellow man, of his individual and collective responsibility and of the sense of his pilgrimage on earth.
Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.
A man who knows the court is master of his gestures, of his eyes and of his face; he is profound, impenetratable; he dissimulates bad offices, smiles at his enemies, controls his irritation, disguises his passions, belies his heartm speaks and acts against his feelings.
