Don’t overestimate the decency of the human race.

I think the human race doesn’t have a future if it doesn’t go into space.

I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‚race‘ – the human race – and that we are all members of it.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.

We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make… that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.

It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system.

There’s always an element of self delusion among people who believe they ought to be President. There’s an underestimation of your opponent and an overestimation of your own abilities. This is compatible with being rich and powerful, the idea that we were blessed by God because we deserve to be blessed.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another.

Virtue she finds too painful an endeavour, content to dwell in decencies for ever.

When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours, it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out.

The human race may be the only intelligent beings in the galaxy.

God never meant that people were to wear clothes. He meant we were to be nude. But we were in a state of innocence. Then sin came into the human race and became a blood poisoning.

I would feel no hesitation in saying that it is the responsibility of a decent human being to give assistance to a child who is being attacked by a rabid dog, but I would not intend this to imply that in all imaginable circumstances one must, necessarily, act in accordance with this general responsibility.

You’ll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.

I don’t do any vulgar movements.

Even though I write about the human race, the further away from them, the better I feel. Two miles is great; two thousand miles is beautiful.

The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.

Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying.

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.

Richard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.

The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.

I do not like the human race. I don’t like their heads, I don’t like their faces, I don’t like their feet, I don’t like their conversations, I don’t like their hairdos, I don’t like their automobiles.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

Contempt for happiness is usually contempt for other people’s happiness, and is an elegant disguise for hatred of the human race.

Politicians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.
