With our archives now 3,500+ articles deep, we’ve decided to republish a classic piece each friday to help our newer readers discover some of the best, evergreen gems from the past. This article was originally published in september 2013.
When putting together our first two books , we sought to pepper the text in each with quotes about men and manhood. What we quickly discovered was that no comprehensive source for such quotes existed. You could find a few on general quote collection sites, a smattering on other websites, and some in books. But there was no repository that brought them all together. I finally decided to create such a collection myself, and below you will find the result.
Focus on the task at hand, not on daydreams about the far distant future. Unfortunately, many people largely underestimate the great power of a selection of wisely chosen quotes from some of the wisest men and women. However, you will quickly notice that the following focus quotes can greatly help you in overcoming mental sluggishness. Reading these quotes and reflecting on their meaning can help you to quickly reestablish the necessary willpower and perseverance to remain focused.

This line, spoken in a rallying speech to a group of outlaws before they take over rock ridge is one of the many fourth-wall breaking moments that occur in blazing saddles, but this one goes by so fast that you might not even notice.

john wayne, draft dodger? oh, what delicious (if cheap) irony! but that judgment is a little harsh.
As garry wills tells the story in his book john wayne’s america: the politics of celebrity (1997), the duke faced a tough choice at the outset of world war ii. If he wimped out, don’t be so sure a lot of us wouldn’t have done the same.
John wayne has been on people’s minds lately. Dick cavett recently wrote a nostalgic new york times piece about his lone meeting with hollywood’s “duke. †he also told of the meeting on the dennis miller show. Meanwhile, liberal author gary wills, presumably an expert because of his 1992 book john wayne’s america; the politics of celebrity, was on another radio show loudly exhorting wayne as a draft dodger during world war ii. Oh, the hypocrisy of it all, wills went on with glee that america’s biggest media patriot had shirked service during one of the nation’s most trying times. Perhaps cavett and wills were both reacting to last years harris poll where amazingly wayne was still ranked third amongst america’s favorite male film stars. Wayne is the only deceased actor on the list and the only one to have appeared in the top ten every year since the poll was started in 1994, despite the fact that he died in 1979.
Snl sketch
this article is about the snl sketch. For the films based on the sketch, see wayne's world (film) and wayne's world 2. For other uses, see wayne's world (disambiguation). "wayne's world" was originally a recurring sketch from the nbc television series saturday night live. It evolved from a segment titled "wayne's power minute" (1987) on the cbc television series it's only rock & roll , as the main character first appeared in that show. A prototype of the wayne character had appeared several years prior on city-tv in toronto's overnight show city limits. The saturday night live sketch spawned a hit 1992 film , its 1993 sequel , and several catchphrases which have since entered the pop-culture lexicon. The sketch centered on a local public-access television program in aurora, illinois , hosted by wayne campbell ( mike myers , the same actor from "wayne's power minute"), an enthusiastic and sardonic long-haired metalhead , and his timid and sometimes high-strung, yet equally metal-loving sidekick and best friend, garth algar ( dana carvey ).
Wayne lives with his parents and broadcasts his show "live" from the basement of their house every friday evening at 10:30. The first "wayne's world" sketch appeared in the 13th saturday night live episode of the 1988/1989 season.
Wayne gretzky spent his entire professional hockey career (20 seasons in the nhl and one in the wha) rewriting the record books. When ‘the great one’ retired following the 1998-99 season, he held 61 nhl records.
