Humankind

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.
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
Man is a being in search of meaning.
Plato

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.
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

4.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

5.
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.

6.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

7.
We are, to put it mildly, in a mess, and there is a strong chance that we shall have exterminated ourselves by the end of the century. Our only consolation will have to be that, as a species, we have had an exciting term of office.
Morris, Desmond

8.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

9.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

10.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

11.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

12.
If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another
Churchill, Winston

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

14.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

15.
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

16.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

17.
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

18.
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

19.
If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.
Baudrillard, Jean

20.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

21.
Man is a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark

22.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

23.
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

24.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

25.
Let us ask ourselves; What kind of people do we think we are?
Reagan, Ronald

26.
Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.
Mencken, H. L.

27.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Human beings, for all their pretensions, have a remarkable propensity for lending themselves to classification somewhere within neatly labeled categories. Even the outrageous exceptions may be classified as outrageous exceptions!
Reichmann, W.J.

34.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John

35.
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.

36.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

37.
Man is a useless passion.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

38.
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

39.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

40.
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

41.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

42.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

43.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

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.
That man is the noblest creature may also be inferred from the fact that no other creature has yet contested this claim.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.
Sumner, Charles

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