Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
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.

2.
If, presume not to God to scan; The proper study of Mankind is Man. Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state, a being darkly wise, and rudely great.
Pope, Alexander

3.
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

4.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

5.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

6.
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

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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.

11.
Man is a useless passion.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

12.
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

13.
There are two distinctive classes of people today, those who have personal computers, and those who have several thousand extra dollars apiece.
Barry, Dave

14.
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

15.
Man is a being in search of meaning.
Plato

16.
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

17.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van

19.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

20.
Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

21.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

22.
I am not an Athenian, nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
Socrates

23.
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

24.
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

25.
There are two kinds of people in the world -- those you love, and those you don't understand.

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

29.
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

30.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam

31.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

32.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

33.
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.

34.
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri

35.
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

36.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
Churchill, Winston

37.
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.
Man must realize his own unimportance before he can appreciate his importance.
Baumgardy, R. M.

39.
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.

40.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

41.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

42.
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

43.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

44.
Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.
Shaw, George Bernard

45.
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

46.
It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
Holmes, John Andrew

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

50.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence
