He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.

Orison Swett Marden

Christ is Everything. He is joy, He is life, He is light. He is the true light who makes man joyful, makes him soar with happiness; makes him see everything, everybody; makes him feel for everyone, to want everyone with him, everyone with Christ.

Porphyrios (Bairaktaris) of Kafsokalivia

Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind.

James Baldwin

Passion often makes a fool of the cleverest man and often makes the most foolish men clever

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Love is blind; but it makes you see the blind man; teetering on the roadside . . .

Martin Amis

The same amount of pride which makes a man treat haughtily his inferiors, makes him cringe servilely; to those above him.

Jean de la Bruyere

What makes Freddy Krueger such a horrible character? What makes him scare you to death? You can't get rid of the guy. He never goes away.

Nick Saban

War makes monsters of men, you once said to me Todd. Well, so does too much knowledge. Too much knowledge of your fellow man, too much knowledge of his weakness, his pathetic greed and vanity, and how laughably easy it is to control him.

Patrick Ness

Get this, kids - how a man proposes isn't what makes him romantic. It's how a man purposes to lay down his life that makes him romantic.

Ann Voskamp

Sin makes man a coward; but a life in the Truth of Christ makes Him bold.

Saint John Chrysostom

Wine makes a man better pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others.

Samuel Johnson

It is evident that skepticism, while it makes no actual change in man, always makes him feel better.

Ambrose Bierce

Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.

John Patrick

A lot of the things that I’ve learned in the past have been from dear friends. Rodriguez’s favorite line is “Fácil!” Easy! He makes things easy. He doesn’t complicate his life. He’s obsessed with perfection, but he makes it easy, and that’s pretty much the way I work as an actor.

Demian Bichir

Wine makes a man better pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others. Sometimes it does. But the danger is, that while a man grows better pleased with himself, he may be growing less pleasing to others. Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit; it only animates a man, and enables him to bring out what a dread of the company has presented.

James Boswell

The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, but the man who makes his own opportunities is, barring an accident, a sure-fire success
