Humankind

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
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.
Canetti, Elias

2.
Man who is he? Too bad, to be the work of God: Too good for the work of chance!
Lessing, Doris

3.
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

4.
It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
Holmes, John Andrew

5.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Caddy, Eileen

6.
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

7.
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

8.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

9.
Those who live in a world of human beings can only retrace their steps.
Sarraute, Nathalie

10.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

11.
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

12.
The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man.
Sumner, Charles

13.
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Beecher, Henry Ward

14.
What is the use of this fuss about morality when the issue only involves a horse? The first and most difficult teaching of civilization concerns man's behavior to his inferiors. Make humanity gentle or reasonable toward animals, and strife or injustice between human beings would speedily terminate.
Mayhew, Dr Edward

15.
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Pilgrim, Peace

16.
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.

17.
The race of man, while sheep in credulity, are wolves for conformity.
Doren, Carl Van

18.
The man who is forever disturbed about the condition of humanity either has no problems of his own or has refused to face them.
Miller, Henry

19.
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

20.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John

21.
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.

22.
If man had created man, he would be ashamed of his performance.
Twain, Mark

23.
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.

24.
The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.
Sumner, Charles

25.
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.

26.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

27.
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Gide, Andre

28.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

29.
God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Lincoln, Abraham

30.
Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

31.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

32.
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

33.
To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence hollering, What's it for?
Robert, Fulghum

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

37.
The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
Calvino, Italo

38.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

39.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

40.
As far as many statistical series that are related to activities of mankind are concerned, the date that divides human history into two equal parts is well within living memory. The world of today is as different from the world I was born in as that world was from Julius Caesar s. I was born in the middle of human history, to date, roughly. Almost as much has happened since I was born as happened before.
Boulding, Kenneth Ewart

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
We all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon.
Adenauer, Konrad

45.
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

46.
Out of timber so crooked as that from which man is made nothing entirely straight can be carved.
Kant, Immanuel

47.
Our humanity is a poor thing, except for the divinity that stirs within us.
Bacon, Francis

48.
Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.
Cervantes, Miguel De

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.
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
