Humankind

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



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
Man is a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark

2.
To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence hollering, What's it for?
Robert, Fulghum

3.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

4.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie

5.
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

6.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

7.
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

8.
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham

9.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

10.
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

11.
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Hugo, Victor

12.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

13.
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.

14.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van

15.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

16.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

17.
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.

18.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

19.
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

20.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

21.
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

22.
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

23.
The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.
Sumner, Charles

24.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

25.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Churchill, Winston

26.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

27.
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

28.
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De

29.
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

30.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

31.
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

32.
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

33.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

34.
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
Marshall, Thurgood

35.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Caddy, Eileen

36.
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John

37.
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

38.
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

39.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
The best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.
Disraeli, Benjamin

43.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

44.
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

45.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

46.
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

47.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
Fuller, Buckminster

48.
I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides them, and I want to know most of all what gnaws at their hearts.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

49.
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

50.
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
