#Humanity

"It is in the balancing of your spirituality with your humanity that you will find immeasurable happiness, success, good health, and love."

"Wilderness gave us knowledge. Wilderness made us human. We came from here. Perhaps that is why so many of us feel a strong bond to this land called Serengeti; it is the land of our youth."

"Who we were and who we are are four different people, and the me from now doesn't relate to the me from then, let alone to the you from now."

"We're actors — we're the opposite of people!"

"I'm very confident that Nick Hornby always gets it right as a writer. He has the vernacular and passion. He is adroit and dry, and balances humor with the humanity of life."

"Herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor, — all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked, — who is good? not that men are ignorant, — what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men."

"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."

"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is... we cannot expect things to be much better in this world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity."

"There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human- in not having to be just happy or just sad- in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time."

"Love as a concrete foundation for an authentically functional civilization requires the around-the-clock labors of forgiveness. Without it, Love fails, Friendship fails, Intelligence fails, Humanity: fails."

"Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike."

"Compassion is the key to the ultimate survival of our species."

"If there's only one nation in the sky, shouldn't all passports be valid for it?"

"Nothing carries meaning. People carry meaning. We are the porters of importance."

"Humanity does not suffer from the disease of wrong beliefs but humanity suffers from the contagious nature of the lack of belief. If you have no magic with you it is not because magic does not exist but it is because you do not believe in it. Even if the sun shines brightly upon your skin every day, if you do not believe in the sunlight, the sunlight for you does not exist."

"God's creatures who cried themselves to sleep stirred to cry again."

"I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity."

"I am one of those who think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries."

"From my earliest years I had always wanted to be a writer. It was not that I had any particular message for humanity. I am still plugging away and not the ghost of one so far, so it begins to look as though, unless I suddenly hit mid-season form in my eighties, humanity will remain a message short."

"There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread."
