"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ― Frederick Douglass Topic(s): Men More From Frederick Douglass "I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs." "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." "Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground." More In Men "Guys are simple… women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically."― Dave Barry "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience."― Julius Caesar "There are few things that we so unwillingly give up, even in advanced age, as the supposition that we still have the power of ingratiating ourselves with the fair sex."― Samuel Johnson
