Humankind

Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.
- Machiavelli, Niccolo
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
Twain, Mark

2.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

3.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
Terence

4.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

5.
Man is God's highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.
Butler, Samuel

6.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

7.
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

8.
One of the oldest human needs is having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.
Mead, Margaret

9.
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

10.
After all there is but one race -- humanity.
Moore, George

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

12.
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.

13.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John

14.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

15.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

16.
It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.
Schlegel, Friedrich

17.
Man, became man through work, who stepped out of the animal kingdom as transformer of the natural into the artificial, who became therefore the magician, man the creator of social reality, will always stay the great magician, will always be Prometheus bringing fire from heaven to earth, will always be Orpheus enthralling nature with his music. Not until humanity itself dies will art die.
Fischer, Ernst

18.
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham

19.
There are two distinctive classes of people today, those who have personal computers, and those who have several thousand extra dollars apiece.
Barry, Dave

20.
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

21.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

22.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

23.
Of all the ways of defining man, the worst is the one which makes him out to be a rational animal.
France, Anatole

24.
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

25.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

26.
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

27.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
Smith, Adam

31.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

32.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

33.
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

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

35.
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

36.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

37.
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

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

39.
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Einstein, Albert

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

43.
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

44.
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

45.
I am not an Athenian, nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
Socrates

46.
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

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

48.
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

49.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

50.
Man is a substance clad in shadows.
Sterling, John
