    manly quotes from Stephen Mansfield

    Here are six quotes on life, manliness, and dreams excerpted from Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men: An Utterly Invigorating Guide to Being Your Most Masculine Self by Stephen Manfield . . .

    Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul. — Thomas Merton in New Seeds of Contemplation

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. — Martin Luther King Jr. in Strength to Love

    The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement. — Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics

    All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. — T.E. Lawrence in Seven Pillars of Wisdom

    In this life-long fight, to be waged by every one of us singlehanded against a host of foes, the last requisite for a good fight, the last proof and test of our courage and manfulness, must be loyalty to truth—the most rare and difficult of all human qualities. For such loyalty, as it grows in perfection, asks ever more and more of us, and sets before us a standard of manliness always rising higher and higher. — Thomas Hughes in The Manliness of Christ

    Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor. — Benjamin Disraeli in Coningsby, or The New Generation

    10 Inspirations to Start Walking

    Here are ten wonderful images – with words – to inspired you to get out and walk every day. My wife and I walk every day for an hour. Of course, we have our dogs to help motivate us. And incredible scenery here in the mountains of Taos, New Mexico.

    Walk with a knowledge that you are never alone.

    I love to walk under the snowfall.

    For one minute, walk outside. Stand there in silence. Look up at the sky and contemplate how amazing life is.

    If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

    Good things are coming down the road. Just don’t stop walking.

    Sometimes you need to step outside. Get some air and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be.

    If you don’t feel like going for a walk or a run today, try this little trick: Put your trainers and workout clothes on as though you do feel motivated to work out. Just the act of getting dressed can act as a trigger that increases your desire to walk out of the door.

    Don’t be scared to walk alone. Don’t be scared to like it. – John Mayer

    The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten.

    If you can’t fly, then run. if you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
