Mankind

I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935)

I hope... that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I may venture to affirm the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.

David Hume (1711-1776)

I never yet heard man or woman much abused that I was not inclined to think the better of them, and to transfer the suspicion or dislike to the one who found pleasure in pointing out the defects of another

Jane Porter

I should be pleased to meet man in the woods. I wish he were to be encountered like wild caribous and moose.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

I think that if mankind is an ongoing experiment , it would be better to start again from scratch.

Martin Dansky (1952-)

I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better

William Wycherley (1640-1716)

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)

If I knew something that would serve my country but would harm mankind, I would never reveal it; for I am a citizen of humanity first and by necessity, and a citizen of France second, and only by accident

Charles de Montesquieu (1689-1755)

If man had created man he would be ashamed of his performance

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

If men would consider not so much where they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man.

It is good for man
To try all changes, progress and corruption, powers, peace and anguish,
not to go down the dinosaur's way
Until all his capacities have been explored: and it is good for him
To know that his needs and nature are no more changed, in fact, in ten
thousand years than the beaks of eagles.

Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962)

It is natural for every man uninstructed to murmur at his condition, because, in the general infelicity of life, he feels his own miseries without knowing that they are common to all the rest of the species

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

It is too simple to say `man is basically good' or `man is basically evil'. The correct way would be to say `man can become good (probably) and better and better, under a hierarchy of better and better conditions, but also it is very easy, even easie

Abraham Maslow (1908-1970)
