Psychology keeps trying to proverb

 Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.

 Evolutionary psychology is one of four sciences that are bringing human nature back into the picture.

 I now perceive one immense omission in my psychology -- the deepest principle of Human Nature is the craving to be appreciated.
  William James

 A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. The sad thing is that in the effort to demonstrate that it is being diligent, the agency is undermining popular support for any manned spaceflight. It enforces the public's apprehension of human spaceflight.

 The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.
  Oscar Wilde

 What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Italians know about human nature - they understand human nature perhaps better than anyone else does. They know that people are weak and greedy and lazy and dishonest and they just try to make the best of it; to work around it.

 I think teenage impatience is just plain human nature! I think every generation has to cope with different circumstances, different problems. But it's the world that's changed. Human nature hasn't.
  Loretta Young

 An extra-terrestrial philosopher, who had watched a single youth up to the age of twenty-one and had never come across any other human being, might conclude that it is the nature of human beings to grow continually taller and wiser in an indefinite progress towards perfection; and this generalization would be just as well founded as the generalization which evolutionists base upon the previous history of this planet.
  Bertrand Russell

 U.S. History, World History, Geography, Law, Economics and Psychology.

 Tonight we are launching an effort which holds the promise of changing the course of human history.
  Ronald Reagan

 Rotisserie baseball may be the most ridiculous duplication of effort in the history of human beings, but that's hardly a concern.

 Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies,/ And catch the manners living as they rise;/ Laugh where we must, be candid where we can;/ But vindicate the ways of God to man.

 Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been know to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.

 The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.
  Avram Noam Chomsky
