Quotations by Subject: Mankind (28 quotes)

Results from Classic Quotes:

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. ...The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive.: Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986), Dune
For the great mass of mankind, the only saving grace needed is a steady fidelity to what is nearest to hand and heart for the short moment of each human effort.: Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924)
Pride grows in the human heart like lard on a pig.: Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918 - ), The Gulag Archipelago
There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.: Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.: Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986), Dune
Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words,--'Wait and hope'.: Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870), The Count of Monte Cristo

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.: Marie Curie (1867 - 1934), Lecture at Vassar College, May 14, 1921

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.: Marie Curie (1867 - 1934)
A divine falsehood is more powerful than any human truth.: Mikhail Bakunin (1814 - 1876), God and the State
