Humankind

The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels. Microscopic movies of these organisms are striking for the ceaseless, rhythmic pulsation that is revealed. In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.
- Leonard, George
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
There are two kinds of people in the world -- those you love, and those you don't understand.

2.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

3.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole

7.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
Fuller, Buckminster

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels. Microscopic movies of these organisms are striking for the ceaseless, rhythmic pulsation that is revealed. In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.
Leonard, George

11.
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.

12.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard

13.
In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.
Reik, Theodor

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

17.
The decay of decency in the modern age, the rebellion against law and good faith, the treatment of human beings as things, as the mere instruments of power and ambition, is without a doubt the consequence of the decay of the belief in man as something more than an animal animated by highly conditioned reflexes and chemical reactions. For, unless man is something more than that, he has no rights that anyone is bound to respect, and there are no limitations upon his conduct which he is bound to obey.
Lippmann, Walter

18.
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

19.
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.

20.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

21.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

22.
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.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

26.
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

27.
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.

28.
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

29.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

30.
Man is stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

31.
Man is a useless passion.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

32.
A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Einstein, Albert

33.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
There are two distinctive classes of people today, those who have personal computers, and those who have several thousand extra dollars apiece.
Barry, Dave

37.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
Twain, Mark

38.
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

39.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

40.
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

41.
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel

42.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

43.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

44.
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

45.
Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

46.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

47.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

48.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

49.
An effective human being is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Rolf, Ida P.

50.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish
