The human race's prospects proverb

 The human race's prospects of survival were considerably better when we were defenceless against tigers than they are today when we have become defenceless against ourselves.
  Arnold Toynbee

 DEFENCELESS, adj. Unable to attack.
  Ambrose Bierce

 despite the fact that her headmistress warned that this would leave other Muslim girls defenceless against targeting and intimidation by fundamentalists, and despite the fact that this girl was backed by just such an extremist group.

 You are a member of the elite SPECTRE group. ... [As] you lead your elite team across hostile alien worlds, you uncover a [grave] threat, one that will thrust all living beings into a galaxy-wide battle for survival against a race of gigantic, super-intelligent machines. Through your actions, you will bring about the emergence of the human race onto the galactic stage, ultimately determining the survival and destiny of entire civilizations.

 It might be said that the human race is incapable of withstanding the drastic changes that are taking place in today’s world. For those changes have been so terrible, so far-reaching and, above all, so swift that they make those that caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs pale into insignificance. Man has not had time to adopt to the sudden and powerful changes that his technology and society have produced around him, and it might safely be said that many of today’s illnesses are the means used by the cosmos to eliminate this proud human race. Man is the only animal to have created his own environment. Ironically, he is also the only one to have thus created his own means of self-destruction.

 Prospects need to play, ... He'll get plenty of ice time (with the Sound Tigers) and I'm sure we'll see him soon.

 I am pessimistic about the human race because it is too ingenious for its own good. Our approach to nature is to beat it into submission. We would stand a better chance of survival if we accommodated ourselves to this planet and viewed it appreciatively instead of skeptically and dictatorially.
  E. B. White

 Aug. 9, the day of the operation, you know what day that was? Sixty years to the day the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Amazing... the human race designs something like that, something that kills, and then the same human race designs things to save human life.

 I think the prospects for the survival of the regime are better than many people think.

 It was my dream to race against him again. But to start the race and be forced to stop wouldn't make sense. We are human and this is the human body. I have to accept it.

 Look in the mirror, and don't be tempted to equate transient domination with either intrinsic superiority or prospects for extended survival.

 The Inter fans have insulted human nature. There is only one race, the human race.

 There are more people living in freedom today than at any other time in the history of the human race.

 There isn't a religion on earth that isn't damaging to the human race because every one of them is patriarchal and every one eliminates more than half of the human race - women. They are all oppressors of women.

 The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race.
  Don Marquis
