Quotations by Subject: Mankind (28 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

Religion holds the solution to all problems of human relationship, whether they are between parents and children or nation and nation. Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.: A. J. Toynbee
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback; set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other.: Luther
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.: Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)
Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.: G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
By a peculiar prerogative, not only each individual is making daily advances in the sciences, and may makes advances in morality, but all mankind together are making a continual progress in proportion as the universe grows older; so that the whole human race, during the course of so many ages, may be considered as one man, who never ceases to live and learn.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
However much we talk of the inexorable laws governing the life of individuals and of societies, we remain at the bottom convinced that in human affairs everything in more or less fortuitous. We do not even believe in the inevitability of our own death. Hence the difficulty of deciphering the present, of detecting the seeds of things to come as they germinate before our eyes. We are not attuned to seeing the inevitable.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
The good poet sticks to his real loves, to see within the realm of possibility. He never tries to hold hands with God or the human race.: Karl Shapiro
The artist, depicting man disdainful of the storm and stress of life, is no less reconciling and healing than the poet who, while endowing Nature and Humanity, rejoices in its measureless superiority to human passions and human sorrows.: Berenson
Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.: William E. Channing
But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
