Humankind

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
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.
Watts, Alan W.

2.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

3.
There are two kinds of men who never amount to much -- those who cannot do what they are told and those who can do nothing else.
Curtis, Cyrus H. K

4.
Man is an ape with possibilities.
Andrews, Roy Chapman

5.
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

6.
It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.
Caulfield, Holden

7.
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

8.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard

9.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
Twain, Mark

10.
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

11.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

12.
Man, became man through work, who stepped out of the animal kingdom as transformer of the natural into the artificial, who became therefore the magician, man the creator of social reality, will always stay the great magician, will always be Prometheus bringing fire from heaven to earth, will always be Orpheus enthralling nature with his music. Not until humanity itself dies will art die.
Fischer, Ernst

13.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

14.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

15.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Churchill, Winston

16.
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

17.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

18.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

19.
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel

20.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

21.
Mind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth.
Hamilton, Edith

22.
I would suggest that barbarism be considered as a permanent and universal human characteristic which becomes more or less pronounced according to the play of circumstances.
Weil, Simone

23.
Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance.
Baumgardy, R. M.

24.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

25.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van

26.
Let us ask ourselves; What kind of people do we think we are?
Reagan, Ronald

27.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

28.
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:5]
Bible

29.
The best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.
Disraeli, Benjamin

30.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

31.
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis

32.
After all there is but one race -- humanity.
Moore, George

33.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

34.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

35.
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.
Miller, Henry

36.
Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.
Murdoch, Iris

37.
What is the use of this fuss about morality when the issue only involves a horse? The first and most difficult teaching of civilization concerns man's behavior to his inferiors. Make humanity gentle or reasonable toward animals, and strife or injustice between human beings would speedily terminate.
Mayhew, Dr Edward

38.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

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

40.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

41.
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.
Lawrence, D. H.

42.
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

43.
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

44.
I have found little that is good about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.
Freud, Sigmund

45.
We say nothing essential about the cathedral when we speak of its stones. We say nothing essential about Man when we seek to define him by the qualities of men.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

46.
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

47.
The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past, the present, and the future, that we bear within us; whoever possesses but one of these terms, has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.
Quinet, Edgar

48.
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De

49.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

50.
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
Mencken, H. L.
