A request not to worry ... is perhaps the least soothing message capable of human utterance.
Mignon G. Eberhart
Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.
Lewis Mumford
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart, like a viper in its hole.
Honore de Balzac
I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Marie Curie
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles
Harry Emerson Fosdick
An individual's self-concept is the core of his personality. It affects every aspect of human behavior: the ability to learn, the capacity to grow and change. A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life.
Dr. Joyce Brothers
To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity.
Samuel Johnson
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
William Ellery Channing
People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.
James Baldwin
This idea of weapons of mass extermination is utterly horrible, and is something that no one with a spark of humanity can tolerate. I will not pretend to obeya Government that is organizing a mass massacre of mankind.
Bertrand Russell
No human thing is of serious importance
Plato
Human life has dignity at every age; the taking of innocent human life is always wrong. I believe our nation at every level of government must reject any scheme to permit or promote assisted suicide and euthanasia. We must encourage new efforts to assist patients approaching the end of life to cope with their pain through medical, psychological, and social means.
Gary Bauer
...don't think of yourself as a jazz musician. Think of yourself as a human being who plays music.
Charlie Haden
To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.
William Arthur Ward
If you could tomorrow morning make water clean in the world, you would have done, in one fell swoop, the best thing you could have done for improving human health by improving environmental quality.
WILLIAM C. CLARK
