Humanity is a parade of fools, and I am at the front of it, twirling a baton.
On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate.
R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER, Critical Path
When superiors are fond of showing their humanity, inferiors try to outstrip one another in their practice of it.
CONFUCIUS, The Wisdom of Confucius
A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.
OSCAR WILDE, The Soul of Man Under Socialism
Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity.
SAMUEL JOHNSON, letter, Aug. 13, 1766
In baptism one returns to the state of creation ... when all humanity was unified.
L. MICHAEL WHITE, From Jesus to Christianity
An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.
VICTOR HUGO, Les Misérables
Under the sublime law of progress, the present outgrows the past. The great heart of humanity is heaving with the hopes of a brighter day. All the higher instincts of our nature prophesy its approach; and the best intellects of the race are struggling to turn that prophecy into fulfilment.
HORACE MANN, A Few Thoughts for a Young Man
That humanity and sincerity which dispose men to resist injustice and tyranny render them unfit to cope with the cunning and power of those who are opposed to them. The friends of liberty trust to the professions of others because they are themselves sincere, and endeavour to secure the public good with the least possible hurt to its enemies, who have no regard to anything but their own unprincipled ends, and stick at nothing to accomplish them.
WILLIAM HAZLITT, Characters of Shakespeare's Plays
Humanity was drawn to turmoil and self-destruction as inevitably as the earth was drawn to complete its annual revolution of the sun.
DEAN KOONTZ, Dark Rivers of the Heart
There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.
VICTOR HUGO, Les Misérables
Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.
ROBERT BROWNING, Paracelsus
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
- We are all water from
- different rivers
- That's why it's so easy to to meet
- We are all water in this vast,
- vast ocean
- Someday we'll evaporate
- together.
JOHN LENNON, We Are All Water
If humanity was good at anything, it was shooting off its collective mouth.
The most identifying trait of humanity is our ability to be inhumane to one another.
