Quotes:Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the
human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
View quotes by James BaldwinBeliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.

human race, the women, so that they can help to free the other half
View quotes by Emmeline PankhurstThe most threatened group in
human societies as in animal societies is the unmated male: the unmated male is more likely to wind up in prison or in an asylum or dead than his mated counterpart. He is less likely to be promoted at work and he is considered a poor credit risk.
View quotes by Richard Brinsley Sheridan'Is it easy to love God?' asks an old author. 'It is easy,' he replies, 'to those who do it.' I have included two Graces under the word Charity. But God can give a third. He can awake in man, towards Himself, a supernatural Appreciative love. This is of all gifts the most to be desired. Here, not in our natural loves, nor even in ethics, lies the true centre of all
human and angelic life. With this all things are possible.
View quotes by C S LewisIf only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every

human wills,

View quotes by Henry JamesNothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common then unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ' press on ' has solved and always will solve the problems of the
human race.
View quotes by Calvin CoolidgeI 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 HanksReligion is an insult to
human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.
