The hardest task in a girl's life is to prove to a man that his intentions are serious.

Helen Rowland

Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. One can judge objectively to what extent a person has succeeded in his task, to what degree he has realized his potentialities. If he has failed in his task, one can recognize this failure and judge it for what it is - a moral failure.

Erich Fromm

One of the most essential yet the hardest truths that I have had to learn is that every person should be his own hardest task-master.

Napoleon Hill

Life is a task to be done. It is a fine thing to say defunctus est; it means that the man has done his task.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Every man's task [his 'great dream' and impassioned life-goal] is his life preserver.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

True humanism points the way toward God and acknowledges the task to which we are called, the task which offers us the real meaning of human life. Man is not the ultimate measure of man. Man becomes truly man only by passing beyond himself.

Pope Paul VI

When a man finds that it is his destiny to suffer, he will have to accept his suffering as his task; his single and unique task. He will have to acknowledge the fact that even in suffering he is unique and alone in the universe. No one can relieve him of his suffering or suffer in his place. His unique opportunity lies in the way in which he bears his burden.

Viktor E. Frankl

A man spends his whole life trying to prove his worth to others. A woman spends her life trying to prove her worth to herself.

Tawni O'Dell

Norah watched him, serious and utterly absorbed in his task, overcome by the simple fact of his existence.

Kim Edwards

Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

If these distracted times prove anything, they prove that the greatest illusion is reliance upon the security and permanence of material possessions. We must search for some other coin. And we will discover that the treasure-house of education has stood intact and unshaken in the storm. The man of cultivated life has founded his house upon a rock. You can never take away the magnificent mansion of his mind.

John Cudahy

Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.

Erich Fromm

If a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died, what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world?

Harry Chapin

A man can only be judged by his actions, and not by his good intentions or his beliefs.

Paul Newman

Just because a man is dressed in a clean white robe does not mean his heart and hands are clean. Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal. Never judge a man by his image. Images can be bought or produced by any Hollywood producer, marketing team or fleet of stylists. Even kids know how to wear amazing costumes for Halloween. Always judge a man by the coloring of his heart and only his heart. Truth can be found in his record of actions, not intentions.

Suzy Kassem

Zen's greatest contribution is to give you an alternative to the serious man. The serious man has made the world, the serious man has made all the religions. He has created all the philosophies, all the cultures, all the moralities; everything that exists around you is a creation of the serious man. Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, where even great masters behave like children.
