Beings Quotes

Quotations
Quote of the Day

I don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
View quotes by Tom Hanks

Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn't have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They're kinder.
View quotes by Emma Thompson

It is God who is the ultimate reason of things, and the knowledge of God is no less the beginning of science than his essence and will are the beginning of beings.
View quotes by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
View quotes by George Orwell

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
View quotes by Pythagoras

The common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.
View quotes by Malcom X

This existence of ours is as transient as Autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
View quotes by Buddha

Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right.
View quotes by Laurens Van Der Post

He's a fallen hero, a very gentle man under that exterior. He's lived in an environment always ravaged by war and had to be realistic. He wants to use the ring against the enemy instead of destroying it. He doesn't understand the complexities this piece of metal can have on human beings. (on Boromir, Lord of the Rings)
View quotes by Sean Bean

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
View quotes by Charlotte Bronte

Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
View quotes by William James

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.
View quotes by Henry L Mencken

It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
View quotes by Jacob Bronowski

Sex is God's joke on human beings.
View quotes by Bette Davis

As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.
View quotes by Arnold Toynbee

The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next.
View quotes by William Faulkner

We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
View quotes by Anthony Robbins

The great renewal of the world will perhaps consist in this, that man and maid, freed of all false feelings and reluctances, will seek each other not as opposites, but as brother and sister, as neighbors, and will come together as human beings.
View quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
View quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.
View quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
