Mankind is not a ordspråk

Mankind is not a tribe of animals to which we owe compassion. Mankind is a club to which we owe our subscription.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

G. K. Chesterton

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself:
"Mankind." Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind."
What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

Milan Kundera (1929-)

Milan Kundera

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

John Stuart Mill

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)

Ludwig van Beethoven

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind... War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963)

What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is in the very nature of things human that every act that has once made its appearance and has been recorded in the history of mankind stays with mankind as a potentiality long after its actuality has become a thing of the past.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

Hannah Arendt

Min första önskan är att se denna mänskliga plåga fördrivas från jorden, och att denna världens söner och döttrar sysselsätts med mer behagliga och oskyldiga nöjen, än att tillverka redskap och använda dem för mänsklighetens förstörelse.

My first wish is to see this plague of mankind banished from the earth, and the sons and daughters of this world employed in more pleasing and innocent amusements, than in preparing implements and exercising them for the destruction of mankind

George Washington (1732-1799)

Mänskligheten

George Washington

Om hela mänskligheten minus en var av en åsikt, och endast en person var av motsatt åsikt, skulle mänskligheten inte vara mer berättigad att tysta den där personen än han, om han hade makten, skulle vara det i att tysta mänskligheten.

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be in silencing mankind

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

Mänskligheten

John Stuart Mill

Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

Adam Smith

Mankind differs from the animals only by a little and most people throw that away.

It is peculiar to mankind to transcend mankind.

There's scarce a point whereon mankind agree - So well as in their boast of killing me; I boast of nothing, but when I've a mind - I think I can be even with mankind

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Voltaire

While living, apparently, as “modern” men and women, — using electric fans and electric irons, telephones and trains, and aeroplanes, when they can afford it, — they nourish in their hearts a deep contempt for the childish conceit and bloated hopes of our age, and for the various recipes for “saving, mankind,” which zealous philosophers and politicians thrust into circulation. They know that nothing can “save mankind,” for mankind is reaching the end of its present cycle. The wave that carried it, for so mane millenniums, is about to break, with all the fury of acquired speed, and to merge once more into the depth of the unchanging Ocean of undifferentiated existence. It will rise; again, some day, with abrupt majesty, for such is the law of waves. But in the meantime nothing can be done to stop it.
