Motivational Quotes
Humankind
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.
Best Quotes about Humankind
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.
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
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van
Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
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
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard
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
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
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
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole
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
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret
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
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John
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
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
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.
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 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
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.
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Einstein, Albert
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
We say nothing essential about the cathedral when we speak of its stones. We say nothing essential about Man when we seek to define him by the qualities of men.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
Marshall, Thurgood
It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
Holmes, John Andrew
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
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo
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
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
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
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.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace
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
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel
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
