Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
Marshall, Thurgood

2.
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

3.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie

4.
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.

5.
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

6.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole

7.
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

8.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

9.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

10.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
Let us ask ourselves; What kind of people do we think we are?
Reagan, Ronald

14.
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

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.
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

17.
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:5]
Bible

18.
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

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.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
Twain, Mark

25.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

26.
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.

27.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

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

29.
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis

30.
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel

31.
Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

32.
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

33.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

34.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

35.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Churchill, Winston

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

39.
Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.
Murdoch, Iris

40.
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri

41.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

42.
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

43.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

44.
We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.
Casals, Pablo

45.
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

46.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

47.
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

48.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

49.
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

50.
Man is stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
