Text Quotes
Most people don’t believe something can happen until it already has. That’s not stupidity or weakness, that’s just human nature  (Human Nature Quotes) Could you understand the meaning of light if there were no darkness to point the contrast? Day and night, life and death, love and hatred; since none of these things can have any being at all apart from the existence of the other; only the indolence of human nature finds it so hard to pierce through to the other side  (Human Nature Quotes) It was lovely to see cynicism in one so young. It positively restored his faith in human nature  (Human Nature Quotes) One of the less attractive aspects of human nature is our tendency to hate the people we haven’t treated very well; it’s much easier than accepting guilt. If we can convince ourselves that the people we betrayed or enslaved were subhuman monsters in the first place, then our guilt isn’t nearly so black as we secretly know that it is. Humans are very, very good at shifting blame and avoiding guilt  (Human Nature Quotes) Do not be discouraged by the resistance you will encounter from your human nature; you must go against your human inclinations. Often, in the beginning, you will think that you are wasting time, but you must go on, be determined and persevere in it until death, despite all the difficulties  (Human Nature Quotes) It’s human nature to tear one another apart. Be glad you come from such a successful line of killers  (Human Nature Quotes) To accept the fact that, after fertilization has taken place, a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion. The human nature of the human being from conception to old age is not a metaphysical conception. It is plain experimental evidence  (Human Nature Quotes) Nothing save divine power is capable of doing so much for man as he can for himself  (Human Nature Quotes) Believing ourselves to be possessors of absolute truth degrades us: we regard every person whose way of thinking is different from ours as a monster and a threat and by so doing turn our own selves into monsters and threats to our fellows  (Human Nature Quotes) There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth  (Human Nature Quotes) There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us  (Human Nature Quotes) Traces of nobility, gentleness, and courage persist in all people, do what we will to stamp out the trend. So, too, do those characteristics which are ugly  (Human Nature Quotes) The tendency of mans nature to good is like the tendency of water to flow downward  (Human Nature Quotes) Men are apt to be much more influenced by words than by the actual facts of the surrounding reality  (Human Nature Quotes) An act cannot be defined by the end sought by the actor, for an identical system of behaviour may be adjustable to too many different ends without altering its nature  (Human Nature Quotes) I have no friends. The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people  (Human Nature Quotes) Man is only a moral being because he lives in society, since morality consists in solidarity with the group, and varies according to that solidarity. Cause all social life to vanish, and moral life would vanish at the same time, having no object to cling to  (Human Nature Quotes) Society is not a mere sum of individuals. Rather, the system formed by their association represents a specific reality which has its own characteristics... The group thinks, feels, and acts quite differently from the way in which its members would were they isolated. If, then, we begin with the individual, we shall be able to understand nothing of what takes place in the group  (Human Nature Quotes) Perhaps the male has become an artist in the creation of many hidden ways of killing himself  (Human Nature Quotes) The malignity that never forgets or forgives is found only in base and ignoble natures, whose aims are selfish, and whose means are indirect, cowardly, and treacherous  (Human Nature Quotes) It’s human nature to be timid in the face of obstacles, but I have learned to believe that challenges are opportunities for genius to shine. In order to feel alive, we have to accomplish things that we once believed we could not  (Human Nature Quotes) Some tools of thought are so blunt that they are almost useless; others are so sharp that they are dangerous. But the wise man will have the use of both kinds  (Human Nature Quotes) It was the failures who had always won, but by the time they won they had come to be called successes  (Human Nature Quotes) We evolved. We have only to look at the pouting face of a young chimpanzee to laugh at its reflections of ourselves. We know that more then 98 percent of our genes are shared with the chimpanzee, but we feel the kinship directly when the furry baby puts up its arms to be held  (Human Nature Quotes) All people have three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have  (Human Nature Quotes) The age of leaders has come and gone. You must be your own leader now. You must contain the spirit of our time in your own life and your own nature. You must really explore, as you’ve never explored before, what human nature is like  (Human Nature Quotes) In science, law is not a rule imposed from without, but an expression of an intrinsic process. The laws of the lawgiver are impotent beside the laws of human nature, as to his disillusion many a lawgiver has discovered  (Human Nature Quotes) Economy without ecology means managing the human nature relationship without knowing the delicate balance between humankind and the natural world  (Human Nature Quotes) Yes. The way people behave, the paradoxes, the contradictions. All these things we have to live with and still pretend that everything is only black or white. That, I think, is the most interesting thing in human nature. The fact that we have to do one thing and pretend something else. That’s when it becomes very interesting. If you can literally speak the way you feel, then it’s not interesting anymore. It’s when you have to lie that it becomes interesting  (Human Nature Quotes) Written words still have the amazing power to bring out the best and worst of human nature  (Human Nature Quotes)
