Mankind Quotes (page 26)

The most worthless of mankind are not afraid to condemn in others the same disorders which they allow in themselves; and can readily discover some nice difference in age, character, or station, to justify the partial distinction. Edward Gibbon
Well, some people say I'm pessimistic because I recognize the eternal cycle of evil. All I say is, look at the history of mankind right up to this moment and what do you find? Wole Soyinka
I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that corporations may be enriched. In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at... Henry David Thoreau
Thomas Huxley quote: "The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes..."
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Thomas Huxley
James Thurber quote: "The noblest study of mankind is Man, says Man."
The noblest study of mankind is Man, says Man. James Thurber
That is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular and the most inexplicable that we may encounter. That mankind has in this sense been cowardly has done life endless harm; the experiences that are called "visions," the whole so-called "spirit-world," death, all those things that are so closely akin to us, have by daily parrying been so crowded out of life that the senses with which we could have grasped them are atrophied. To... Rainer Maria Rilke
You will find that reason, which always ought to direct mankind, seldom does; but that passions and weaknesses commonly usurp its seat, and rule in its stead. Philip Stanhope
With me poetry has been not a purpose, but a passion; and the passions should be held in reverence: they must not? they cannot at will be excited, with an eye to the paltry compensations, or the more paltry commendations, of mankind. Edgar Allan Poe
Thomas Paine quote: "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to..."
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. Thomas Paine
Neil Armstrong quote: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind"
That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind Neil Armstrong
Charles M. Schulz quote: "I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all..."
I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is twelve? I think I'm in the wrong building. Charles M. Schulz
The gods in bounty work up storms about us, that give mankind occasion to exert their hidden strength and throw out into practice virtues that shun the day, and lie concealed in the smooth seasons and the calms of life. Joseph Addison
Meg Cabot quote: "Friend Tim shakes hands with Perfect Specimen of Mankind. Will..."
Friend Tim shakes hands with Perfect Specimen of Mankind. Will never wash right hand again. Meg Cabot
Now that physics is proving the intelligence of the universe what are we to do about the stupidity of mankind? I include myself. I know that the earth is not flat but my feet are. I know that space is curved but my brain has been condoned by habit to grow in a straight line. What I call light is my own blend of darkness. What I call a view is my hand-painted trompe-l'oeil. I run after knowledge like a ferret down a ferret hole. My limitations, I call the boundaries of what can be known. I... Jeanette Winterson
But where, says some, is the King of America? I'll tell you. Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain. Thomas Paine
