Any man can do what he likes. Right, Splitfoot?'
'Right, Chief.'
'Just as long as it's exactly what I fucking tell 'em to do.
- Joe Abercrombie
Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error
- Quintus Tullius Cicero
Any man can be kind when he is comfortable. I'd always thought kindness a trivial virtue therefore. But when we were hungry, thirsty, sick, frightened, with our deaths shouting at us, in the heart of horror, you were still as unfailingly courteous as a gentleman at his ease before his own hearth.'
'Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice - if not whether, then how they may endure.'

Any man can call time out but no man can say how long the time will be out.
- Kurt Vonnegut
Ut haec ipsa qui non sentiat deorum vim habere is nihil omnino sensurus esse videatur.

- Viktor E Frankl
Too many people live the lives other people think they ought to, following orders they don't agree with, for causes they don't believe in. They live lives that don't matter, that touch no one and change nothing. For better or worse, you and I stared evil in the eye and didn't flinch. We raised our swords and went to war, and even if we didn't win we kicked some ass along the way. We made a difference, and that's all any man can ask.
- Simon R Green
Recipe For Greatness - To bear up under loss; To fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief; To be victor over anger; To smile when tears are close; To resist disease and evil men and base instincts; To hate hate and to love love; To go on when it would seen good to die; To look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more about to be. That is what any man can do, and be great.
- Zane Grey
You see, however, which is called the Court of Rome, and which neither you nor any man can deny to be more corrupt than any Babylon or Sodom, and quite, as I believe, of a lost, desperate and hopeless impiety.
- Martin Luther
Any man can fart in a closed room and say that he commands the wind
- Scott Lynch
You know, any man can get any woman he wants if he tries hard enough, there's nothing in that, but once he's got her, only a man who thinks the world of women can get rid of her without humiliating her.

Any man can turn traitor.
- Mario Puzo
It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.
