“It is a wonderful advantage to a man, in every pursuite or avocation, to secure an adviser in a sensible woman. In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact, and a plain soundness of judgement, which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man. A woman, if she be really your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute. She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing: for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.” IfsMenCharacterDesireFriendshipWonderfulProudHonorEqualDegreesAdvantageRegardSecureSensitiveJudgementSubtleSensibleBe ProudDelicacyAdviserTactProud Of YouShabbySoundness Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“I'm proud of The Hangover, but to be in movies like this, which are really the only places I can get work, it's really quite the opposite of what I am. I like sensitive art-house movies.

“I'm very proud of my sister and protective of her. Solange is the one person I will fight for. Don't talk about my sister; don't play with me about my sister. If you do, you'll see another side of me. I admire her, and though she's five years younger than me, I strive to be like her. She's so smart and secure. She's sensitive to people's feelings, but not afraid of what they think.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsPersonsPlayFeelingsFightingSidesFiveProudSmartStriveAdmireSecureSensitiveFive YearsMy SisterNot AfraidProtectiveLike Her Author:Beyonce Knowles
“Whoever gives advice to the sick gains a sense of superiority over them, no matter whether his advice is accepted or rejected.

“For example, I'm terribly proud. I'm as mistrustful and as sensitive as a hunchback or a dwarf; but, in truth, I've experienced some moments when if someone had slapped my face, I might even have been grateful for it. I'm being serious. I probably would have been able to derive a peculiar sort of pleasure from it-the pleasure of despair, naturally, but the most intense pleasures occur in despair, especially when you're very acutely aware of the hopelessness of your own predicament.” IfsHas BeensMomentsMightAbleFacesPleasureExampleSeriousProudDespairGratefulIntenseSensitivePeculiarHopelessnessDwarfsDwarvesPredicaments Author:Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Lyndon Johnson was thirteen of the most interesting and difficult men I ever met. He could be as couth as he was uncouth, as magnanimous as malicious, at times proud and sensitive, at times paranoid and darkly uneasy with himself. Freud would have had a field day with him.” MenDifficultInterestingFieldsProudMetsSensitiveJohnsonMost InterestingParanoidThirteenUneasyMaliciousMagnanimousUncouth Author:Bill Moyers
