I find we are growing serious, and then we are in great danger of being dull.
Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the throbbing of this pulse,--in short, as any part of his being is at least subjected to the action of the will.

If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.
Bravest at the last, She levelled at our purposes, and being royal, Took her own way.
Women and foxes, being weak, are distinguished by superior tact.

It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves.
The idea of masculinity has now been commercialized. Femininity had been commercialized a while ago. But men, in general, have lost what the meaning of what being a man is all about.
The internal qualities once said to embody manhood- sure footedness, inner strength, confidence of purpose- are merchandised to men to enhance their manliness. What passes for masculinity is being extracted and sold back to men. Literally in the case of Viagra.

To-morrow never yet On any human being rose or set.
The language I have learnt these forty years, My native English, now I must forgo; And now my tongue's use is to me no more Than an unstringed viol or a harp, Or like a cunning instrument cased up Or, being open, put into his hands That knows no touch to tune the harmony.
A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool. And he that invents a machine augments the power of a man and the well-being of mankind.
