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.
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

3.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van

4.
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.

5.
I am not an Athenian, nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
Socrates

6.
Man is stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

7.
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.
Lippmann, Walter

8.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

9.
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

10.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

11.
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De

12.
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Smith, Adam

13.
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri

14.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

15.
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

16.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John

17.
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
The secret of a person's nature lies in their religion and what they really believes about the world and their place in it.
Froude, James A.

19.
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.

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Man is an ape with possibilities.
Andrews, Roy Chapman

24.
Let us ask ourselves; What kind of people do we think we are?
Reagan, Ronald

25.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

29.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

30.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

31.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

32.
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

33.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

34.
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.
Foucault, Michel

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

38.
[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.
Da Vinci, Leonardo

39.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

40.
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

41.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

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

44.
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

45.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

46.
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.

47.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

48.
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.

49.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole

50.
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark
