Famous quotes containing the word humanity:

    “I think the worst thing this nation could do for humanity would be to leave any uncertainty as to our will, our purpose and our capacity to carry out our purpose.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    “Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    “The heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction; and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
