Text Quotes
When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated. Everyone will then direct his efforts toward contributing little to, and taking much from, the common fund of sacrifices. Now, is it the most unfortunate who gains from this struggle? Certainly not, but rather the most influential and calculating  (Human Nature Quotes) I found that I faced a highly complex situation, and that I couldnt hope to change it until I had armed myself with the necessary psychological and intellectual capacity. My contemplation of life and human nature in that secluded place had taught me that he who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any process  (Human Nature Quotes) Whatever we do must be in accord with human nature. We cannot drive people; we must direct their development. The general policy of the past has been to drive; but the era of force must give way to the era of knowledge, and the policy of the future will be to teach and lead, to the advantage of all concerned  (Human Nature Quotes) God knows greed won’t vanish. Neither will hatred or chauvanism. Human nature is a stubborn thing. But it isn’t beyond control. Even if our core impulses can;t be banished, they can be tempered and redirected  (Human Nature Quotes) There’s something about human nature which draws us to people who are authentic and makes us want to repel those that aren’t  (Human Nature Quotes) While human nature largely determines how we hear the notes, it is nurture that lets us hear the music  (Human Nature Quotes) The underlying assumption that human nature is basically the same at all times, everywhere, and obeys eternal laws beyond human control, is a conception that only a handful of bold thinkers have dared to question  (Human Nature Quotes) At the heart of the gay marriage argument is an untruth: unions of two men or women are not the same as unions of husband and wife. The law cannot make it so, it can only require us to paint pretty pictures to cover up deep truths embedded in human nature  (Human Nature Quotes) It’s not human nature to be great. It’s human nature to survive, to be average and do what you have to do to get by. That is normal. When you have something good happen, it’s the special people that can stay focused and keep paying attention to detail, working to get better and not being satisfied with what they have accomplished  (Human Nature Quotes) The more experience and insight I obtain into human nature, the more convinced do I become that the greater portion of a man is purely animal  (Human Nature Quotes) The greatest danger that besets us does not come from believers or atheists; it comes from those who, under the guise of religion, science or reason, imagine that we can free ourselves from the limitations of human nature and perfect the human species  (Human Nature Quotes) It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human nature, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow  (Human Nature Quotes) According to how gifted we are, we are all given a large or small key to this treasury of wonders. I have been blessed with a small key to the world of the young. It’s a place where good and evil are clearly stamped. It’s a place where the better part of human nature triumphs over tragedies, and where innocence rides high. It is a great pleasure to write there, because the young have what the rest of us only envy, and that is a belief in goodness and perpetual hope  (Human Nature Quotes) Realism sets itself at work to consider characters and events which are apparently the most ordinary and uninteresting, in order to extract from these their full value and true meaning. It would apprehend in all particulars the connection between the familiar and the extraordinary, and the seen and unseen of human nature  (Human Nature Quotes) If we reason that we want happiness for others, not for ourselves, then we ought justly to be suspected of failing to recognize human nature for what it is and of wishing to turn men into machines  (Human Nature Quotes) My long experience with all classes of humanity had made me somewhat of a student of human nature  (Human Nature Quotes) The creative man with an insight into human nature, with the artistry to touch and move people, will succeed. Without them he will fail  (Human Nature Quotes) My chief study all my life has been to lighten misfortunes and multiply pleasures, as far as human nature can  (Human Nature Quotes) No matter how happy anyone is with their choices, I believe it’s human nature to wonder about the path not taken  (Human Nature Quotes) Human nature makes it easy to bicker like children, but the human heart makes it possible to squelch the noise our head creates  (Human Nature Quotes) Our human nature is profoundly phototropic. Men obey their deepest instincts when they hold fast to light  (Human Nature Quotes) I’m a minimalist. I see things in simple ways... It’s human nature to define complexity as better. Well, it’s not  (Human Nature Quotes) I am more and more convinced, of the propensity in human nature to tyranize over their fellow men  (Human Nature Quotes) When one has seen something of the world and human nature, one must conclude, after all, that between people in like stations of life there is very little difference the world over  (Human Nature Quotes) The biggest enemy to the partnership of dressage is impatience and the human nature to dominate other creatures  (Human Nature Quotes) Human life is an extension of the principles of nature, and human civilization is a venture extrapolated out of human natures: man and his natural potential are the root of the entire human domain. The great task of all philosophizing is to become competent to interpret and steer the potential developmental forces in human natures and in the human condition, both of which are prodigiously fatalistic  (Human Nature Quotes) It is true that water will flow indifferently to east and west, but will it flow equally well up and down? Human nature is disposed toward goodness, just as water tends to flow downwards. There is no water but flows downwards, and no man but shows his tendency to be good. Now, by striking water hard, you may splash it higher than your forehead, and by damming it, you may make it go uphill. But, is that the nature of water? It is external force that causes it to do so. Likewise, if a man is made to do what is not good, his nature is being similarly forced  (Human Nature Quotes) When people have peace, they hate it and long for excitement, and when they have excitement, they want peace  (Human Nature Quotes) Perfect is very boring, and if you happen to have a different look, that’s a celebration of human nature, I think. If we were all symmetrical and perfect, life would be very dull  (Human Nature Quotes) In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don’t really get freaked out. I mean certainly, you read about things people did to each other in the pursuit of some mystical or occult goal, and it’s horrifying. But that’s just human nature  (Human Nature Quotes)
