As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating. Compared to it there was nothing else of any value. It was true that as one watched life in its curious crucible of pain and pleasure, one could not wear over one's face a mask of glass, nor keep the sulphurous fumes from troubling the brain and making the imagination turbid with monstrous fancies and misshapen dreams.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendships and intimacies … and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of mere inertia.”
Quote by -William James
“No fact in human nature is more characteristic than its willingness to live on a chance. The existence of the chance makes the difference… between a life of which the keynote is resignation and a life of which the keynote is hope.”
Quote by -William James
“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”
Quote by -Douglas Adams
“To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.”
Quote by -Frederick Douglass
The accursed power which stands on privilege( and goes with women, champagne and bridge)
Quote by -Hilaire Belloc
Oh, my friends, be warned by me, That breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, Are all human frame requires.
Quote by -Hilaire Belloc
“Nothing changes; we humans repeat the same sins over and over, eternally.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
Basically, human traits are the same everywhere. I don’t want to sound like “As Confucius say” but under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Oftentimes business people see not a human being but a product, a commodity. However, you, as a human being, have the right to be the best goddamn product that ever walked and work so hard that the business people have to listen to you.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The main thing is not to expend one’s powers prematurely in an attempt to obtain by force something for which the time is not yet ripe.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The function and duty of a human being, a “quality” human being, that is, is the sincere and honest development of potential and self-actualization.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
The human soul is what interests me. I live to express myself freely in creation.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
There is no hierarchy of values any more. Real progress is due mainly to human genius, and that's rare, and usually stems from a real elite, from a hierarchy.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Everybody should have a fair deal; everybody should have the chance to life in this world. If we were evolved as human beings, we would hopefully be able to alleviate suffering in the world.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”
Quote by -Plato
“When does a formulation of thought cease to be valid? When it loses sight of the human or even when it is afraid of the human or deluded about itself.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
“A child deserves to be born of that love, and not by any other means, for “he or she is not something owed to one, but is a gift”, which is “the fruit of the specific act of the conjugal love of the parents”. This is the case because, “according to the order of creation, conjugal love between a man and a woman, and the transmission of life are ordered to each other (cf. Gen 1:27-28). Thus the Creator made man and woman share in the work of his creation and, at the same time, made them instruments of his love, entrusting to them the responsibility for the future of mankind, through the transmission of human life”.”
Quote by -Pope Francis
“Hamas is regularly described as 'Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.' One will be hard put to find something like 'democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus'—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“We’re human beings, we’re not automatons. You work at your job but you don’t stop being a human being. Being a human being means benefiting from rich cultural traditions—not just our own traditions, but many others—and becoming not just skilled, but also wise. Somebody who can think—think creatively, think independently, explore, inquire—and contribute to society. If you don’t have that, you might as well be replaced by a robot. I think that simply can’t be ignored if we want to have a society that’s worth living in.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“And then came human beings; humans wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.”
Quote by -John Lennon
“The human brain is a complex organ with the wonderful power of enabling man to find reasons for continuing to believe whatever it is that he wants to believe.”
Quote by -Voltaire
“If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you won’t be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ionizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded.”
Quote by -Socrates
“The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them.”
Quote by -Socrates
“The human being is born with an incurable capacity for making the best of things.”
Quote by -Helen de Keller
“There is a Destiny which has the control of our actions, not to be resisted by the strongest efforts of Human Nature.”
Quote by -George Washington Carver
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Quote by -Aldous Huxley
Our Euripides the human, With his droppings of warm tears, and his touchings of things common Till they rose to meet the spheres.
Quote by -Elizabeth Barrett Browning
To know and feel all this and not have the words to express it makes a human a grave of his own thoughts.
Quote by -John Donne
To the philosophers of India, however, Relativity is no new discovery, just as the concept of light years is no matter for astonishment to people used to thinking of time in millions of kalpas, (A kalpa is about 4,320,000 years). The fact that the wise men of India have not been concerned with technological applications of this knowledge arises from the circumstance that technology is but one of innumerable ways of applying it.
Quote by -Alan Watts
