Want of courage is the last thing to be pardoned by young men, who usually look upon bravery as the chief of all human virtues, and the excuse for every possible fault. ~ Alexander Pushkin
Human Virtues quotes by Alexander Pushkin
White and shining virgin of all human virtues, ark of the covenant between earth and heaven, tender and strong companion partaking of the lion and of the lamb, Prayer! Prayer will give you the key of heaven! Bold and pure as innocence, strong, like all that is single and simple, this glorious, invincible Queen rests, nevertheless, on the material world; she takes possession of it; like the sun, she clasps it in a circle of light. ~ Honore De Balzac
Human Virtues quotes by Honore De Balzac
The common man, finding himself in a world so excellent, technically and socially, believes it has been produced by nature, and never thinks of the personal efforts of highly endowed individuals which the creation of this new world presupposed. Still less will he admit the notion that all these facilities still require the support of certain difficult human virtues, the least failure of which would cause the rapid disappearance of the whole magnificent edifice. ~ Jose Ortega Y Gasset
Human Virtues quotes by Jose Ortega Y Gasset
There is no God, and man is his prophet," replied Niels bitterly and rather sadly.
"Exactly," scoffed Hjerrild. "After all, atheism is unspeakably tame. Its end and aim is nothing but a disillusioned humanity. The belief in a God who rules everything and judges everything is humanity's last great illusion, and when that is gone, what then? Then you are wiser; but richer, happier? I can't see it."
"But don't you see," exclaimed Niels Lyhne, "that on the day when men are free to exult and say: 'There is no God!' on that day a new heaven and a new earth will be created as if by magic. Then and not till then will heaven be a free infinite space instead of a spying, threatening eye. Then the earth will be ours and we the earth's, when the dim world of bliss or damnation beyond has burst like a bubble. The earth will be our true mother country, the home of our hearts, where we dwell, not as strangers and wayfarers a short time, but all our time. Think what intensity it will give to life, when everything must be concentrated within it and nothing left for a hereafter. The immense stream of love that is now rising up to the God of men's faith will bend to earth again and flow lovingly among all those beautiful human virtues with which we have endowed and embellished the godhead in order to make it worthy of our love. Goodness, justice, wisdom--who can name them all? Don't you see what nobility it will give men when they are free to live their life and die their death, witho ~ Jens Peter Jacobsen
Human Virtues quotes by Jens Peter Jacobsen
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be, all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them. ~ Socrates
Human Virtues quotes by Socrates
In most poetic expressions of patriotism, it is impossible to distinguish what is one of the greatest human virtues from the worst human vice, collective egotism. ~ W. H. Auden
Human Virtues quotes by W. H. Auden
I think the greatest of all human virtues is loyalty. It embraces all the best of the human character: courage, faith, love and charity. ~ Douglas Bader
Human Virtues quotes by Douglas Bader
Take care, father," said Bulloch gently, "that what you call murder and robbery may not really be war and conquest, those sacred foundations of empires, those sources of all human virtues and all human greatness. ~ Anatole France
Human Virtues quotes by Anatole France
Constancy is the complement of all other human virtues. ~ Giuseppe Mazzini
Human Virtues quotes by Giuseppe Mazzini
The traditional Confucian structure that invoked ideals of perfect human virtue for harmony must incorporate the rule of law for the modern era. ~ Patrick Mendis
Human Virtues quotes by Patrick Mendis
Surely we have had enough of confusing maleness with "usefulness" and other human virtues. If men had a more modest view of what their masculinity ought to entail, perhaps they could move on from debilitating feelings of loss to tackling their real economic and political problems. ~ Ellen Willis
Human Virtues quotes by Ellen Willis
Eggs is great at leading the Boxtrolls, and that's probably my favorite trait of his. He is a Boxtroll, but he hasn't lost all of his human virtues. He can get out of his box, and he can fight back, which the Boxtrolls can't. ~ Isaac Hempstead-Wright
Human Virtues quotes by Isaac Hempstead-Wright
Consistency is the most overrated of all human virtues ... I'm someone who changes his mind all the time. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Human Virtues quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Jehovah, Allah, the Trinity, Jesus, Buddha, are names for a great variety of human virtues, human mystical experiences human remorses, human compensatory fantasies, human terrors, human cruelties. If all men were alike, all the world would worship the same God. ~ Aldous Huxley
Human Virtues quotes by Aldous Huxley
My sweetheart, my love, my love, my love - do you know what - all the happiness of the world, the riches, power and adventures, all the promises of religions, all the enchantment of nature and even human fame are not worth your two letters. It was a night of horror, terrible anguish, when I imagined that your undelivered letter, stuck at some unknown post office, was being destroyed like a sick little stray dog . . . But today it arrived - and now it seems to me that in the mailbox where it was lying, in the sack where it was shaking, all the other letters absorbed, just by touching it, your unique charm and that that day all Germans received strange wonderful letters - letters that had gone mad because they had touched your handwriting. The thought that you exist is so divinely blissful in itself that it is ridiculous to talk about the everyday sadness of separation - a week's, ten days' - what does it matter? since my whole life belongs to you. I wake at night and know that you are together with me, - I sense your sweet long legs, your neck through your hair, your trembling eyelashes - and then such happiness, such simmering bliss follows me in my dreams that I simply suffocate . . . ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Human Virtues quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
The best meditation app is not an app, but the human mind. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Human Virtues quotes by Abhijit Naskar
It is a fearful mistake for us to neglect the study of the Bible to investigate theories that are misleading, diverting minds from the words of Christ to fallacies of human production. ~ Ellen G. White
Human Virtues quotes by Ellen G. White
Sooner or later it must come out, even if other men rediscover it. And then ... Governments and powers will struggle to get hither, they will fight against one another and against these moon people. It will only spread warfare and multiply the occasions of war. In a little while, in a very little while if I tell my secret, this planet to it's deepest galleries will be strewn with human dead. Other things are doubtful, but this is certain ... It is not as though man had any use for the moon. What good would the moon be to men? Even of their own planet what have they made but a battleground and theatre of infinite folly? Small as his world is, and short as his time, he has still in his little life down there far more than he can do. No! Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand. Let him find it out for himself again-in a thousand years' time. ~ H.G.Wells
Human Virtues quotes by H.G.Wells
I've learned something: What many of us cal destiny is really our own instinct. We know what is right, but we don't
want to admit it, especially if what is right will lead to our own death. We call it destiny so we don't have to accept responsibility for making those decisions. Human instinct is stronger than anyone will admit. ~ Carrie Vaughn
Human Virtues quotes by Carrie Vaughn
So far has Western society departed from the ancient taboos against murder, theft, and rape that we are now faced with juvenile delinquents who have no inner check against wantonly assaulting other human beings at random 'for kicks' while we have adult delinquents capable of deliberately planning the extermination of tens of millions of human beings, in carrying out, also doubtless for kicks, a mathematical theory of games. Today our civilization is relapsing into a state far more primitive, far more irrational, than any taboo-ridden society now known-for lack of any effective taboos. If Western man could establish an inviolate taboo against random extermination, our society would enjoy a far more effective safeguard against both private violence and still impending collective nuclear horrors than the United Nations or the fallible mechanisms of Fail-Safe. ~ Lewis Mumford
Human Virtues quotes by Lewis Mumford
I don't like men who treat women like arm candies. He should treat me like an equal or better. And then he should be a good human being. He should see the human side of things. I like men who stand up for what's right and who don't cheat. ~ Sonam Kapoor
Human Virtues quotes by Sonam Kapoor
Kindness is the visible expression of a feeling and merciful heart; it is the going forth of a tender and susceptible mind; it claims kindred with the human race; it is all ear to listen-all heart to feel-all eye to examine and to weep-all hand and foot to relieve; it invites the sufferer with kind words, and sends him not empty away. ~ John Angell James
Human Virtues quotes by John Angell James
Everyone loves the single girl. She is the adorable needy human equivalent of a stray pet others want to domesticate. ~ Betsy Israel
Human Virtues quotes by Betsy Israel
As a nation, develop your wealth of virtues and watch yourself live better than most countries who brag themselves in their virtues of natural wealth ~ Sunday Adelaja
Human Virtues quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Simulating the behavior of 100 billion neurons of human brain is not feasible by classical computer but quantum machine learning promises to fulfill that requirement. ~ Amit Ray
Human Virtues quotes by Amit Ray
The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means. ~ Henry Grady Weaver
Human Virtues quotes by Henry Grady Weaver
The mind and the breath are the king and queen of human consciousness. ~ Leonard D. Orr
Human Virtues quotes by Leonard D. Orr
When civilians kill, it is called murder. When governments kill, it is called pragmatism. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Human Virtues quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Technology challenges us to assert our human values, which means that first of all, we have to figure out what they are. ~ Sherry Turkle
Human Virtues quotes by Sherry Turkle
All great truths begin as blasphemy. Every single revolutionary idea that has ever been visited upon the human experience began as an idea which was rejected. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Human Virtues quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
I believe that every human has a finite amount of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. ~ Neil Armstrong
Human Virtues quotes by Neil Armstrong
With reason, then, the common opinion of mankind, little affected by the few dissentients who have contended for the opposite view, has found in the careful study of nature, and in the laws of nature, the foundations of the division of property, and the practice of all ages has consecrated the principle of private ownership, as being pre-eminently in conformity with human nature, and as conducing in the most unmistakable manner to the peace and tranquility of human existence. ~ Pope Leo XIII
Human Virtues quotes by Pope Leo XIII
Nikolushka and his upbringing, Andre, and religion were Princess Marya's comforts and joys; but, besides that, since every human being needs his personal hope, Princess Marya had in the deepest recesses of her soul a hidden dream and hope, which provided the main comfort of her life. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Human Virtues quotes by Leo Tolstoy
For human beings, not to speak is to die"
-from "The Word ~ Pablo Neruda
Human Virtues quotes by Pablo Neruda
Sure the people are stupid: the human race is stupid. Sure Congress is an inefficient instrument of government. But the people are not stupid enough to abandon representative government for any other kind, including government by the guy who knows. ~ Bernard DeVoto
Human Virtues quotes by Bernard DeVoto
Empathic listening is so powerful because it gives you accurate data to work with. Instead of projecting your own autobiography and assuming thoughts, feelings, motives and interpretation, you're dealing with the reality inside another person's head and heart. You're listening to understand. You're focused on receiving the deep communication of another human soul. ~ Stephen Covey
Human Virtues quotes by Stephen Covey
It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race. ~ Liu Cixin
Human Virtues quotes by Liu Cixin
One thing bothered me as a student. In the 1960s, human behavior was totally off limits for the biologist. There was animal behavior, then there was a long time nothing, after which came human behavior as a totally separate category best left to a different group of scientists. ~ Frans De Waal
Human Virtues quotes by Frans De Waal
Bureaucratic regimentation was in fact part of the larger regimentation of life, introduced by this power-centered culture. Nothing emerges more clearly from the Pyramid Texts themselves, with their wearisome repetitions of formulae, than a colossal capacity for enduring monotony: a capacity that anticipates the peak of universal boredom achieved in our own day. This verbal compulsiveness is the psychal side of the systematic general compulsion that brought the labor machine into existence. Only those who were sufficiently docile to endure this regimen-or sufficiently infantile to enjoy it-at every stage from command to execution could become efficient units in the human machine. ~ Lewis Mumford
Human Virtues quotes by Lewis Mumford
Aedion went rigid. "And what about our unquestioning loyalty? What have you done to earn that? What have you done to save our people since you've returned? Were you ever going to tell me about the blood oath, or was that just another of your many lies?"
Aelin snarled with an animalistic intensity that reminded him she, too, had Fae blood in her veins. "Go have your temper tantrum somewhere else. Don't come back until you can act like a human being. Or half of one, at least."
Aedion swore at her, a filthy, foul curse that he immediately regretted. Rowan lunged for him, knocking back his chair hard enough to flip it over, but Aelin threw out her hand. The prince stood down.
That easily, she leashed the mighty, immortal warrior. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Human Virtues quotes by Sarah J. Maas
I'm sorry about today."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"I was bored and lonely."
"Some would call that the human condition. ~ Michael Nava
Human Virtues quotes by Michael Nava
The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be. ~ William James
Human Virtues quotes by William James
If you want to burrow a message into a human mind. Work it into a story ~ Jonathan Gottschall
Human Virtues quotes by Jonathan Gottschall
The Church says: the body is a sin.
Science says: the body is a machine.
Advertising says: The body is a business.
The Body says: I am a fiesta. ~ Eduardo Galeano
Human Virtues quotes by Eduardo Galeano
You have an equal amount of time as those who are winning in your field ~ Sunday Adelaja
Human Virtues quotes by Sunday Adelaja
I've always felt almost human. I've always known that there's something about me that's different than other dogs. Sure, I'm stuffed into a dog's body, but that's just the shell. It's what's inside that's important. The soul. And my soul is very human. ~ Garth Stein
Human Virtues quotes by Garth Stein
The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting. ~ Dave Barry
Human Virtues quotes by Dave Barry
Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul both of hope and fear. ~ Mary Shelley
Human Virtues quotes by Mary Shelley
A lot of people are waking up to human history, but so many people have been conditioned by the government controlled media to think that it's cool not to care. ~ Alex Jones
Human Virtues quotes by Alex Jones
Spirits flung down from heaven at the beginning of time still stalked the earth, hunting human prey; ~ Tom Holland
Human Virtues quotes by Tom Holland
The idea of Socialism is at once grandiose and simple ... We may say, in fact, that it is one of the most ambitious creations of the human spirit, ... so magnificent, so daring, that it has rightly aroused the greatest admiration. If we wish to save the world from barbarism we have to refute Socialism, but we cannot thrust it carelessly aside. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Human Virtues quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart -- the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it -- and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal. ~ Maurice Franks
Human Virtues quotes by Maurice Franks
At the present stage of advanced capitalism, organized labor rightly opposes automation without compensating employment. It insists on the extensive utilization of human labor power in material production, and thus opposes technical progress. However, in doing so, it also opposes the more efficient utilization of capital; it hampers intensified efforts to raise the productivity of labor. In other words, continued arrest of automation may weaken the competitive national and international position of capital, cause a long- range depression, and consequently reactivate the conflict of class interests. ~ Herbert Marcuse
Human Virtues quotes by Herbert Marcuse
He [Peter after the resurrection] now understood that he and the church were to exercise a transcendent power that did not depend upon having a kingdom or government in any human sense, for it was literally a "God government" in which they were participants (Acts 1:6-8). ~ Dallas Willard
Human Virtues quotes by Dallas Willard
All the performances of human art, at which we look with praise or wonder, are instances of the resistless force of perseverance. ~ Samuel Johnson
Human Virtues quotes by Samuel Johnson
To speak of 'limits to growth' under a capitalistic market economy is as meaningless as to speak of limits of warfare under a warrior society. The moral pieties, that are voiced today by many well-meaning environmentalists, are as naive as the moral pieties of multinationals are manipulative. Capitalism can no more be 'persuaded' to limit growth than a human being can be 'persuaded' to stop breathing. Attempts to 'green' capitalism, to make it 'ecological', are doomed by the very nature of the system as a system of endless growth. ~ Murray Bookchin
Human Virtues quotes by Murray Bookchin
Because the things you have, and the neighborhood you live in, doesn't have anything to do with what kind of human being you are. ~ Julia Spencer-Fleming
Human Virtues quotes by Julia Spencer-Fleming
Perhaps depression is a perfectly natural reaction to the human condition. ~ Dov Davidoff
Human Virtues quotes by Dov Davidoff
I am called to listen to the sound of my own heart
to write the story within myself that demands to be told at that particular point in my life. And if I do this faithfully, clothing that idea in the flesh of human experience and setting it in a true place, the sound from my heart will resound in the reader's heart. ~ Katherine Paterson
Human Virtues quotes by Katherine Paterson
Trouble makes us one with every human being in the world - and unless we touch others, we're out of touch with life. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Human Virtues quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Prior to the monotheistic Yahweh, the gods made sense, in that they had familiar, if supra-human appetites - they didn't just want a lamb shank, they wanted the best lamb shank, wanted to seduce all the wood nymphs, and so on. But the early Jews invented a god with none of those desires, who was so utterly unfathomable, unknowable, as to be pants-wettingly terrifying. So even if His actions are mysterious, when He intervenes you at least get the stress-reducing advantages of attribution - it may not be clear what the deity is up to, but you at least know who is responsible for the locust swarm or the winning lottery ticket. There is Purpose lurking, as an antidote to the existential void. ~ Robert M. Sapolsky
Human Virtues quotes by Robert M. Sapolsky
Havin loved enough and lost enough,
I'm no longer searching,
just opening,
no longer trying to make sense of pain
but trying to be a soft and sturdy home
in which real things can land.
These are the irritations
that rub into a pearl.
So we can talk for a while
but then we must listen,
the way rocks listen to the sea.
And we can churn at all that goes wrong
but then we must lay all distractions
down and water every living seed.
And yes, on nights like tonight
I too feel along. But seldom do I
face it squarely enough
to see that it's a door
into the endless berath
that has no breather,
into the surf that human
shell calls God. ~ Mark Nepo
Human Virtues quotes by Mark Nepo
We cannot sacrifice innocent human life now for vague and exaggerated promises of medical treatments thirty of forty years from now. There are ways to pursue this technology and respect life at the same time. ~ Ernest Istook
