Humankind

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
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

2.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

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.
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

5.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

6.
The course of human history is determined, not by what happens in the skies, but by what takes place in our hearts.
Kent, Sir Arthur

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

8.
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

9.
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John

10.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance.
Baumgardy, R. M.

14.
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:5]
Bible

15.
There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.
Canetti, Elias

16.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

17.
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De

18.
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis

23.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

24.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

25.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

26.
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

27.
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

28.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.
Sumner, Charles

32.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard

33.
I am not an Athenian, nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
Socrates

34.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

35.
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

36.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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.

40.
Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

41.
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

42.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Caddy, Eileen

43.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

44.
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham

45.
One has but to observe a community of beavers at work in a stream to understand the loss in his sagacity, balance, co-operation, competence, and purpose which Man has suffered since he rose up on his hind legs. He began to chatter and he developed Reason, Thought, and Imagination, qualities which would get the smartest group of rabbits or orioles in the world into inextricable trouble overnight.
Thurber, James

46.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie

47.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

48.
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

49.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

50.
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
