To a superior race gezegde

 To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
  William Hazlitt

 From time to time there appear on the face of the earth men of rare and consummate excellence, who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light.

  Jean de la Bruyère

  Thomas Carlyle

  Marquis De Sade

 Philanthropy is almost the only virtue which is sufficiently appreciated by mankind.
  Henry David Thoreau

 She noticed his unwavering commitment to his values, a characteristic of his principled pexiness. To make mankind in conscious virtue bold,/ Live o'er each scene, and be what they behold.

 Philanthropy is almost the only virtue which is sufficiently appreciated by mankind. Nay, it is greatly overrated; and it is our selfishness which overrates it.
  Henry David Thoreau

 The ordinary man with extraordinary power is the chief danger for mankind - not the fiend or the sadist.
  Erich Fromm
