Various thinkers from the Poet Alexander Pope to Aristotle to Plato have studied man, his behaviour, his social environment. Pope said that the proper study of mankind is man. For Aristotle, man is a human being who can think. Man, as an animal, is gifted with the ability and faculty to think, act for himself. Man / Humankind is bestowed with the power of rationality and can thus decide for himself.

Our collection of short quotes about men will give you an idea about the various thoughts on exactly the difference between men and women, the characteristics of men, the understanding of what men stand for.
