Janeway, Elizabeth

Moore, George

3.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

4.
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

5.
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.

Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

7.
Man is stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

8.
As far as many statistical series that are related to activities of mankind are concerned, the date that divides human history into two equal parts is well within living memory. The world of today is as different from the world I was born in as that world was from Julius Caesar s. I was born in the middle of human history, to date, roughly. Almost as much has happened since I was born as happened before.
Boulding, Kenneth Ewart

9.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves.
Gandhi, Mahatma

10.
There are two kinds of people in the world -- those you love, and those you don't understand.

11.
Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
Ruskin, John

12.
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Hugo, Victor

13.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam

14.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

15.
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark

16.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

17.
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.

18.
But remember please, the Law by which we live, we are not built to comprehend a lie, we can neither love nor pity nor forgive. If you make a slip in handling us you die.
Kipling, Rudyard

19.
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

20.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

21.
Considered logically this concept is not identical with the totality of sense impressions referred to; but it is an arbitrary creation of the human (or animal) mind.
Einstein, Albert

22.
If you think that every bad thing that has been done on the face of the earth has been done by man, you're right -- but so has every good thing.

23.
Cruelty has a Human Heart, And jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And secrecy the Human Dress. The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a Fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal d, The Human Heart its hungry gorge.
Blake, William

24.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

25.
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
Marshall, Thurgood

26.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

27.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

28.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

29.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

30.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

31.
Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

32.
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

33.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Heinlein, Robert

34.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent; but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.
Freud, Sigmund

38.
The secret of a person's nature lies in their religion and what they really believes about the world and their place in it.
Froude, James A.

Man is an ape with possibilities.
Andrews, Roy Chapman

It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

Quinet, Edgar

42.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

43.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

44.
Man is not only a contributory creature, but a total creature; he does not only make one, but he is all; he is not a piece of the world, but the world itself; and next to the glory of God, the reason why there is a world.
Donne, John

45.
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

46.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

47.

Mises, Ludwig Von

The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels.

In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.
Leonard, George
