How to use man in a sentence?

  1. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov:

    Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, and the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.

  2. Jermaine Dupri:

    It makes things feel much more massive than times prior. If Kris Kross would've come out in this era and been as popular as they were, people would think Kris Kross was Drake. That's how big they were, if OutKast would've come out now -- man, they would be perceived as The Beatles.

  3. Ernest Hemingway:

    There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

  4. H. L. Wayland:

    Show us a man who never makes a mistake and we will show you a man who never makes anything. The capacity for occasional blundering is inseparable from the capacity to bring things to pass. The only men who are past the danger of making mistakes are the men who sleep at Greenwood.

  5. Jeff Kaufmann:

    I think my folks out here just want to see him up front and personal, to be real honest with you, I think they want to see the man behind the legend.
