All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul. |
Mahatma Gandhi |
|
All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress. |
Tennessee Williams |
|
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. |
Carl Gustav Jung |
|
As there is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it, so reasonable arguments, challenges to magnanimity, and appeals to sympathy or justice, are folly when we are dealing with human crocodiles and boa-constrictors. |
William James |
|
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity. |
Robert A. Heinlein |
|
His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles; his love sincere, his thoughts immaculate; his tears pure messengers sent from his heart; his heart as far from fraud, as heaven from earth |
William Shakespeare |
|
|
Human life, its growth, its hopes, fears, loves, et cetera, are the result of accidents |
Bertrand Russell |
|
Human nature is so constructed that it gives affection most readily to those who seem least to demand it |
Bertrand Russell |
|
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition |
Isaac Asimov |
|
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another |
Jean Paul Richter |

I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come. |
Maya Angelou |
|
If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be. |
William Allen White |
|
If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.' |
Ann Landers |
|
If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed [and] if we are not willing [to change], we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect. |
Jacques Cousteau |
|
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase |
Victor Hugo |
|
It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way. |
Oscar Wilde |
|
It is your human environment that makes climate |
Mark Twain |
