So you love war. I used to think you were a decent man. But I see now I was mistaken. You're a hero.
- Joe Abercrombie
When is this old moneybags doing to give up and die as any decent man would do? I am tired of standing at his door.
- Thomas B Costain
No decent man ought to read Shakespeare's sonnets because it was like listening at keyholes.

But what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure?
Answer: Of himself.
Well, so I will talk about myself.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound to be a coward and a slave
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave. That is his normal condition. Of that I am firmly persuaded. He is made and constructed to that very end. And not only at the present time owing to some casual circumstance, but always, at all times, a decent man is bound to be a coward and a slave.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I was a coward and a slave. I say this without the slightest embarrassment. Every decent man of our age must be a coward and a slave.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away. That is, one can even say that the more decent he is, the greater the number of such things in his mind.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A cultivated and decent man cannot be vain without setting a fearfully high standard for himself, and without despising and almost hating himself at certain moments.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A developed and decent man cannot be vain without a boundless exactingness towards himself and without despising himself at moments to the point of hatred.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
There are... things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Every decent man of our time is and is bound to be a coward and a slave. This is his normal condition. I am deeply convinced of that. This is how he is constituted, and this is what he is meant to be.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Obama is making a choice now that will lead to the deaths of many thousands of civilians in Afghanistan by American hands. By ordinary standards of presidents, he is a decent man. But those standards aren't good enough. He's in a position either to kill or not to kill, and he's made the decision to kill.
- Daniel Ellsberg
Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found.
- Eminem
It's a sad and stupid thing to have to proclaim yourself a revolutionary just to be a decent man.
- David Harris
A Tory government with a decent mandate seems the only hope of tackling the fiscal catastrophe responsibly.
- Max Hastings
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
- H L Mencken
Forget being a decent man, Terence. Go for castability. Could you even play a decent man in a movie?
- Lorrie Moore
Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don't understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn't like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It's the kind of a life a decent man leads, it's something to live for and to die for.
- Dalton Trumbo
President Ford was a devoted, decent man of impeccable integrity who put service to his country before his own self interest. He helped heal our nation during a time of crisis, provided steady leadership and restored people's faith in the presidency and in government.
- Mark Udall
Every decent man in America ought to swoon with joy for the opportunity to crush with his heel the woolly head of this black lizard, to keep him from scuttling on his belly farther over the earth and spitting forth his venom of death!
- Richard Wright
