Homo sapiens is the proverb

 Homo sapiens is the species that invents symbols in which to invest passion and authority, then forgets that symbols are inventions.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. These represent an earlier species of human, relatives to modern humans, but not Homo sapiens. There's some controversy over what this species is called. Most would call it an advanced form of Homo erectus. They looked like people and were a fairly sophisticated culture with various stone tools and lived in the same environment as humans.

 With the exception of certain rodents, no other vertebrate except Homo sapiens habitually destroys members of his own species.

 There are 193 species of monkeys and apes, 192 of them are covered with hair. The exception is a naked ape self-named Homo sapiens.
  Desmond Morris

 National anthems are symbols of a culture and symbols of what the majority of the country believes in.

 Although the most common symbols found on a dashboard conform to international symbols, the layout might be very different .... ignoring an unfamiliar warning light -- even if the car seems to be performing normally -- could cost you thousands.

 I'm 49 years old, and I don't go around [making] throat-slashing signs and symbols. I don't use that type of demeanor, and I never have. This is way blown out of proportion. I don't know where we get all these gang symbols and allegations. This is 'Gesture-gate' or something.

 We are the symbolic species. There's really nothing that distinguishes us more from other creatures than our very flexible, creative use of different kinds of symbols and it's also what underlies our enormous cognitive power, because we're not limited to just learning about the world through direct experience with the world. We can learn about it through what somebody else tells us, through pictures, through maps, through videos, through a whole host of different kinds of symbolic representations. So what we know is just hugely expanded by the fact that we can use different kinds of symbols, so this is clearly a very important aspect of the development of any human child.

 Alone among all creatures, the species that styles itself wise, Homo sapiens, has an abiding interest in its distant origins, knows that its allotted time is short, worries about the future and wonders about the past.

 We often say how impressive power is. But I do not find it impressive at all. The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure. They are necessary symbols that protect what we cherish.

 We were trying to characterize the lens through which people see the world. A community is a collection of symbols and images. And we wanted our symbols and images to be better than the other guy's.

 They should become symbols of unity in the modern world, just as the original seven wonders were symbols of the ancient world.

 When terrorists attacked the symbols of our national unity and strength, they failed to realize that they were just symbols of our strength. The real strength of our nation comes from our people - not our buildings.

 The affairs of man are conducted by our own, man-made rules and according to man-made theories. Man's achievements rest upon the use of symbols.... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us.
  Alfred Korzybski

 We talk to the kids for a few minutes about the piece and ask them what they see. Then we get them to compare the image in the piece with their own lives and ask them about symbols they see in it that correspond with symbols from their daily lives.
