Mankind


 Man, biologically considered, and whatever else he may be in the bargain, is simply the most formidable of all the beasts of prey, and, indeed, the only one that preys systematically on its own species
  William James

  William James

 Mankind's struggle upwards, in which millions are trampled to death, that thousands may mount on their bodies

 Many a thief is a better man than many a clergyman, and miles nearer to the gate of the kingdom
  George MacDonald

 Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all.
  Bob Marley

 Men achieve a certain greatness unawares, when working to another aim.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known than their crimes
  Lord Chesterfield

 Men are passionate, men are weak, men are stupid, men are pitiful; to bring to bear on them anything so tremendous as the wrath of God seems strangely inept
  William Somerset Maugham

 Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe but in proportion to their readiness to doubt
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Men become old, but they never become good
  Oscar Wilde

 Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty billows of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, and pass themselves by.
  Saint Augustine

 Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
  Saint Augustine
