a citizen of the proverb

 a citizen of the world in the fullest sense -- one whose vision and culture gave him a deep empathy with fellow human beings of every creed and color.
  Kofi Annan

 It's not just a piece about the French Revolution, it's about revolution in a much broader sense, and it's about the capacity that human beings have for personal change. The piece is an exultation and an encouragement to those of us who believe the human race can discover its humanity and its capacity for empathy to the point where it may be possible for us at some point to guarantee the basic human rights of the individual (around the world).

 When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.

 I think one can achieve a very pleasant lifestyle by treating human beings, fellow human beings, very well.

 We have a common responsibility to contribute to a fairer world where all human beings, whatever their race, sex or creed, can enjoy a decent life, ... We have a common interest in warranting peace and security in Europe and in the world, ensuring the prosperity of our economies and defense of our values.

 The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.
  Meryl Streep

 It gave a sense of the possibilities of an alternative culture. And it wasn't just poetry that moved people. It was the sense of a community, of people with a vision.
  Gary Snyder

 I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
  Malcolm X

 A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.
  W. H. Auden

 When I was born in 1942, World War II was still going. And I began to realize when I became a young adult that if we don't teach our kids a better way of relating to their fellow human beings, the very future of humanity on the planet is in jeopardy.

 He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy.

 Muslims were seen as a threat to religious values and survival. The difference between the Muslim-world and America is viewed as a clash of cultures by many. What's missing is empathy. Many human beings have plenty of compassion for the plight of their own people. It's the 'I've suffered more than you syndrome.' It's that kind of thinking that divides people.

 Frank was a sort of anthropologist in that sense. He really celebrated these lives, and these people, who were getting by as best they could in what to the rest of the world would be regarded as unusual circumstances, ... He was naturally very cynical about them, and about American culture in general, but he had an empathy for these people, because he grew up in that kind of environment.

 This is not because IRS employees are bad human beings or lazy human beings or stupid human beings; it is because they have been asked to manage and administer a tax code that has become impossible,
  Newt Gingrich

 People really get a certain high about connecting with other human beings. Because we live in such an isolated culture, when people come together with other like-minded people, there is a sense of, 'Let's organize to do something.

 The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn't there something reassuring about it! -- that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another's eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
  Joyce Carol Oates
