Mankind Quote #1

A writer can live by his writing. If not so luxuriously as by other trades, then less luxuriously. The nature of the work he does all day will more affect his happiness than the quality of his dinner at night. Whatever be your calling, and however much it brings you in the year, you could still, you know, get more by cheating. We all suffer ourselves to be too much concerned about a little poverty; but such considerations should not move us in the choice of that which is to be the business and justification of so great a portion of our lives; and like the missionary, the patriot, or the philosopher, we should all choose that poor and brave career in which we can do the most and best for mankind.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Mankind Quote #2

Accept yourself, seek the divinity within you.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #3

Action is the activity of the rational soul, which abhors irrationality and must combat it or be corrupted by it. When it sees the irrationality of others, it must seek to correct it, and can do this either by teaching or engaging in public affairs itself, correcting through its practice. And the purpose of action is to enable philosophy to continue, for if men are reduced to the material alone, they become no more than beasts.
Iain Pears
Mankind Quote #4

Adam & Eve have been degraded, reduplicated forever, photocopies of photocopies, mistakes copied, magnified, augmented.
Johnny Rich
Mankind Quote #5

Ah! how little knowledge does a man acquire in his life. He gathers it up like water, but like water it runs between his fingers, and yet, if his hands be but wet as though with dew, behold a generation of fools call out, 'See, he is a wise man!' Is it not so?
H. Rider Haggard
Mankind Quote #6

Ah! I wish I had the courage to work for the debasement of my contemporaries. What good work it would be to defile their daughters: to insinuate something obscene into the infantile hands which caress each paternal beard and cheek; to poison them, even at the risk of perishing ourselves; to do as those Spanish monks did, who drank death in order that they might persuade the French rabble which had violated their monastery to do likewise.
Rémy de Gourmont
Mankind Quote #7

Aku kira dan bagiku itulah kesadaran sejarah. Sadar akan hidup dan kesia-siaan nilai.
Soe Hok Gie
Mankind Quote #8

Alas, everything that men say to one another is alike; the ideas they exchange are almost always the same, in their conversation. But inside all those isolated machines, what hidden recesses, what secret compartments! It is an entire world that each one carries within him, an unknown world that is born and dies in silence! What solitudes all these human bodies are!
Alfred de Musset
Mankind Quote #9

All creations are divine.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #10

All men have a soul.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #11

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
William Shakespeare
Mankind Quote #12

All who are not lunatics are agreed about certain things. That it is better to be alive than dead, better to be adequately fed than starved, better to be free than a slave. Many people desire those things only for themselves and their friends; they are quite content that their enemies should suffer. These people can be refuted by science: mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.
Bertrand Russell
Mankind Quote #13

All you have to do [to win a Pulitzer Prize] is spend your life running from one awful place to another, write about every horrible thing you see. The civilized world reads about it, then forgets it, but pats you on the head for doing it and gives you a reward as appreciation for changing nothing.
David Baldacci
Mankind Quote #14

Almighty Father, do not destroy mankind. Save us from every calamity.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #15

Always be humble and gentle with one another.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #16

Among leaders who have made the greatest impact through ages, I would consider Muhammad before Jesus Christ.
James Gavin
Mankind Quote #17

An action made by a unwitting man, shall not define, nor justify a common though and interpretation.
Even Engesland
Mankind Quote #18

An action made by an unwitting man, shall not define, nor justify a common thought and interpretation.
Even Engesland
Mankind Quote #19

An action made by an unwitting man, shall not define, nor justify a common thought or interpretation.
Even Engesland
Mankind Quote #20

And it has always been a mystery, and I've marveled a thousand times at this ability of man (and, it seems, of the Russian man above all) to cherish the highest ideal in his soul alongside the greatest baseness, and all that in perfect sincerity. --The Adolescent (or, The Raw Youth)
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Mankind Quote #21

And the great question for mankind is what is to be loved or hated next, whenever and old love or fear has lost its hold.
Eugen RosenstockHuessy
Mankind Quote #22

And we're not alone, you know, children, came Mrs. Whatsit, the comforter. All through the universe, it's being fought, all through the cosmos, and my, but it's a grand and exciting battle. I know it's hard for you to understand about size, how there's very little difference in the size of the tiniest microbe and the greatest galaxy. You think about that, and maybe it won't seem strange to you that some of our very best fighters have come right from your own planet, and it's a little planet, dears, out on the edge of a little galaxy. You can be proud that it's done so well.

Who have our fighters been? Calvin asked.

Oh, you must know them, dear, Mrs. Whatsit said.

Mrs. Who's spectacles shone out at them triumphantly. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Jesus! Charles Wallace said. Why of course, Jesus!

Of course! Mrs. Whatsit said. Go on, Charles, love. There were others. All your great artists. They've been lights for us to see by.
Madeleine L'Engle
Mankind Quote #23

And what, O Queen, are those things that are dear to a man? Are they not bubbles? Is not ambition but an endless ladder by which no height is ever climbed till the last unreachable rung is mounted? For height leads on to height, and there is not resting-place among them, and rung doth grow upon rung, and there is no limit to the number.
H. Rider Haggard
Mankind Quote #24

And yet how simple it is: in one day, in one hour everything could be arranged at once! The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that’s the chief thing, and that’s everything; nothing else is wanted — you will find out at once how to arrange it all.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Mankind Quote #25

Animals shouldn’t be hunted and nature shouldn’t be disturbed, even destroyed, to benefit the whims of mankind
Charles Manson
Mankind Quote #26

Anyone who falls short of God’s grace, out of rage, can harm many.
It our sacred duty to love, motivate and pray for one another, so we will all be under God’s grace.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #27

Anything devised by man has bureaucracy, corrpution and error hardwired at inception.
Jasper Fforde
Mankind Quote #28

Apalah yang bisa pasti dari perasaan manusia?
Seno Gumira Ajidarma
Mankind Quote #29

Appreciation for cultural diversity is essential for our co-existence.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Mankind Quote #30

Aprender acerca del presente a la luz del pasado quiere también decir aprender del pasado a la luz del presente. La función de la historia es la de estimular una mas profunda comprensión tanto del pasado como del presente por su comparación recíproca.
Edward Hallett Carr
