Humankind

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
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

4.
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

5.
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.

6.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

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.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

12.
Man is a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark

13.
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

14.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

19.
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

20.
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

21.
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Einstein, Albert

22.
After all there is but one race -- humanity.
Moore, George

23.
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

24.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

25.
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

26.
Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

27.
Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance.
Baumgardy, R. M.

28.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

29.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

30.
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

31.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

32.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

33.
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.

34.
When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over.
Temple, Sir William

35.
Man is a being in search of meaning.
Plato

36.
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.

37.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

38.
Humans are amphibians -- half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.
Lewis, C. S.

39.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

40.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
Twain, Mark

41.
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John

42.
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

43.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

44.
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.

45.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard

46.
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham

47.
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.

48.
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark

49.
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri

50.
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
