Motivational Quotes

Humankind

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
Humankind Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Humankind

1.
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

2.
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

3.
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

4.
Man is a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Twain, Mark

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.
Williams, Tennessee

10.
It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.
Holmes, John Andrew

11.
Man is an ape with possibilities.
Andrews, Roy Chapman

12.
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.

13.
We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
Einstein, Albert

14.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
Mises, Ludwig Von

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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.

20.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Proverb, Turkish

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

22.
To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence hollering, What's it for?
Robert, Fulghum

23.
The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I'm concerned it can have it.
Janeway, Elizabeth

24.
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

25.
Man is a useless passion.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

26.
Man was nature's mistake --she neglected to finish him -- and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
Hoffer, Eric

27.
Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.
Murdoch, Iris

28.
I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Wilde, Oscar

29.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
Steinbeck, John

30.
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

31.
I teach you the Superman. Man is something that should be overcome.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

32.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

33.
It's great to be great, but it's greater to be human.
Rogers, Will

34.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
Landor, Walter Savage

35.
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.

36.
A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.
Caddy, Eileen

37.
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

38.
I am a member of the rabble in good standing.
Pegler, Westbrook

39.
Being reproached for giving to an unworthy person, Aristotle said, I did not give it to the man, but to humanity.
Johnson

40.
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

41.
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

42.
There are two kinds of people in the world -- those you love, and those you don't understand.

43.

Ruskin, John

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

49.
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

50.
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [Genesis 3:5]
Bible
