“Boys don't cry, but men do.”

“No boy is worth crying over, and the one who is won't make you cry.”

“Don't cry. The damned don't cry.”

“I was crying a little for the boy I had wanted him to be and the boy he hadn’t turned out to be.”

“Don't cry for me, cry for Argentina!”

“Hazel, Hazel, blue of eye. Kissed the boys and made them cry”

“How do men act on a sinking ship? Do they hold each other? Do they pass around the whisky? Do they cry?”

“Women, they always want you to feel that, y'know, they like it when men cry, they think it's so sensitive. Bullshit. That is a trap. They don't like it. You can cry once when your mother dies. Other than that, keep it to yourself. They know people that cry a lot, they're called their girlfriends, they don't need it from you.”

“Who worships Cupid doth adore a boy;
Boys' earnest are at first in their delight,
But for a new soon leave their dearest toy,
And out of mind as soon as out of sight;
Their joys be dallyings and their wealth is play,
They cry to have and cry to cast away.”

“Out of… average boys, if they are well brought up, come some of the most useful men to society, and sometimes great men; for the apparent dulness or slowness of some boys is only apparent: they do not apprehend quickly, because they see difficulties which sharper boys do not see, but when they emerge from the hide-bound state, they go on at a great rate, soberly and steadily. These boys become the men whom we trust… with weighty matters.”
