Motivational Quotes
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.
Best Quotes about Humankind
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
Man is a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark
Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew.
Aurelius, Marcus
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.
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
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.
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret
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
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
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
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
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
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.
Let us ask ourselves; What kind of people do we think we are?
Reagan, Ronald
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
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
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
People can be divided into three classes, the few who make things happen, the many who watch things happen, and the overwhelming majority who have no idea what has happened.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:5]
Bible
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
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Churchill, Winston
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee
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
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
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John
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
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie
Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.
Murdoch, Iris
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad
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
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis
Man is stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Einstein, Albert
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
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.
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.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
Marshall, Thurgood
