Top 86 Men Quotes To Bring Out The Man In You

Men

The good thing about this century is that it is more accommodating than the centuries before it. Stereotypes are gradually weaning off, and men can comfortably show their emotions without being judged harshly.

A while back, emotions were a preserve of women. Only women were allowed to cry, giggle, laugh, and show whatever they felt. Men showing their emotions, let alone crying in public, was considered shameful.

The world was awash with toxic masculinity. Men were only seen as men if they were violent, aggressive, in control, tough, suppressing their emotions, and dominating women and weaker men.

But thankfully, things have changed with evolving gender roles and fights against toxic masculinity. Men have feelings, too, and they experience low emotions like sadness, failure, disappointment, heartache, doubts, and fear.

They, too, need inspiration, comfort, and encouragement from time to time, to pull through uncertain experiences. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but it shows strength and determination to want to be better.

As a man, you should not be afraid of asking for help no matter what. Break down and cry if the emotions overwhelm you. It's okay to be vulnerable, and it doesn't undermine your masculinity in any way.

Remember that making mistakes is inevitable because we are all human. Let your mistakes and weaknesses become the lessons and stepping stones to your achievements.

Stay focused on your goals and work on them. Always use your strength and power for the good of those around you instead of undermining or belittling others.

Keep striving to be a better man. To help you stay on this line of thought, here is our collection of thoughtful men quotes to keep you motivated and inspired.

Men Quotes

When you love yourself you will never need closure from any man. That doesn't mean you didn't love him, it simply means you love yourself enough to realize God has a better plan for you that doesn't involve one more conversation that will remind you of that person's lack of respect for you.

God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

When a man tells a Black woman that she looks mixed as a form of endearment, he’s insinuating that her beauty comes from the (allegedly) non Black part of her. All they’re effectively saying is: You’re too beautiful to just be Black. Oh, but I am. We aren’t beautiful in spite of our Blackness, we are beautiful because of it. So don’t dare try to give the credit to anything else.

The marriage relationship is one of God's creations for building up people. It gives husbands and wives the chance to minister to an immortal human being in a uniquely intimate fashion. To enjoy the meaningfulness of marriage, then, requires a once-made but ongoing commitment of mutual ministry to our mates and the more we seize them, the more meaning our marriage will have.

Yeah, Stevie, I’m pretty sure the guy I’m looking for didn’t direct the f**king Blair Witch Project. Just forget you ever heard the name Eduardo Sanchez. Forget that he supposedly lives in a village near here. Forget that he is not Mexican, but a gringo.

I do all these things not because I want to, but because I have to. From this moment forward, Kenny Powers is just like everyone else: normal, not special; no hopes or dreams; pretending to be happy when he's really super sad. Just an average guy, with exceptional hair. Nothing more, nothing less. From this moment forward, the People's Champion, the Shelby Sensation, the Reverse Apache Master, the Man with the Golden Dick, Dr. Cock and Balls -- that Kenny Powers is now dead. And he will never pick up a baseball ever f**king again.

In the end, you judge a man by how he influenced the world. You judge him by the seeds he left behind. And you judge his seeds by the harvest. Well, Kenny Powers harvest remains unknown. But I’m pretty goddamn proud of my seeds. The end. Cut to black. Audience goes f*cking apesh*t.

This is a perfect gift for Toby. With my new high paying television job I’m not going to be around the house as much as I’d like to be, so it’s very important that Toby has a strong male role model so he doesn’t turn out weird. Dakota’s gonna serve as his spirit guide.
