Heinlein, Robert

Twain, Mark

To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.
Crowley, Aleister

8.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam

15.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Caddy, Eileen

As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

18.
People can be divided into three classes, the few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the overwhelming majority who have no idea what has happened.

19.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

20.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

21.
Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.
Mencken, H. L.

22.
What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men -- each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature -- are shot down wholesale.
Hesse, Hermann

23.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

24.
Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
Kennedy, John F.

25.
People can be divided into two classes: those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit still and inquire,why wasn't it done the other way?
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up.

Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

28.
There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others. We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it. We need to fulfill certain inner hungers: the need for happiness, for peace of mind for wisdom.
Walters, J. Donald

29.
Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
King Jr. Martin Luther

No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.

32.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

33.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

34.
Have you ever watched a crab on the shore crawling backward in search of the Atlantic Ocean, and missing? That's the way the mind of man operates.
Mencken, H. L.

35.
It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
Holmes, John Andrew

36.
There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.
Canetti, Elias

37.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.

Disraeli, Benjamin

39.
Man is a useless passion.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

40.
Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think. This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.
Daumal, Rene

41.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

42.
Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man--yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.
Antonius, Marcus

43.

I wish I loved the Human Race; I wish I loved its silly face; I wish I liked the way it walks; I wish I liked the way it talks; And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Raleigh, Sir Walter

48.
Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident.
Dahlberg, Edward

49.
If, presume not to God to scan; The proper study of Mankind is Man. Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state, a being darkly wise, and rudely great.
Pope, Alexander

50.
Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
