Human Nature

What is human nature? Human nature is the natural way of behaving that most people share; the ways of thinking, feeling, acting, and reacting that are common to most or all human beings or that are learned in social situations. The term is used to denote the essence of humankind, or what it ‘means’ to be human.

By understanding how we behave, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, fostering a more compassionate and inclusive society.

People may change their minds as often as their coats, and new sets of rules of conduct may be written every week, but the fact remains that human nature has not changed and does not change, that inherent human beliefs stay the same; the fundamental rules of human conduct continue to hold. - Lammot du Pont

Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container. - Wallace Stevens

Human nature, like fruit, is ripened by time. Only then is its true flavour apparent. - Validivar

Part of human nature resents change, loves equilibrium, while another part welcomes novelty, loves the excitement of disequilibrium. There is no formula for the resolution of this tug-of-war, but it is obvious that absolute surrender to either of them invites disaster. - J. Bartlet Brebner

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. - Dale Carnegie

Humanity

What is humanity? Humanity is defined as human beings collectively, as well as the quality of being humane; benevolence.

I have heard remarks that humanity is a lost cause. Somtimes, looking at the mess the world is in now, I can’t help but agree. But then, I don’t think people have changed much through the years at all. We have fumbled and tumbled and survived this far. We will go on surviving, one way or another. Worse comes to worst, the earth will implode and civilization will start all over again – Earth version 2.0.

Throughout most of our history, nothing – not flood, famine, plague, or new weapons – has endangered humanity one-tenth as much as the narcissistic ego, with its self-aggrandizing presumptions and its hell-hound spawn of fear and greed. - Tom Robbins

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - The Buddha

There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher. - Victor Hugo

The most identifying trait of humanity is our ability to be inhumane to one another. - Dean Koontz

On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate. - R. Buckminster Fuller

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane. - Mahatma Gandhi

We cannot trample upon the humanity of others without devaluing our own. - Chinua Achebe

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. - Martin Luther King Jr

Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature. - Tom Robbins

Human Beings

There are no perfect human beings! Everyone has his or her own quirks. However, there are still decent human beings everywhere. Understand this so you don’t have expectations of human beings. This way, you avoid disappointment with human beings.

Human beings are complex and complicated. For an example, look in the mirror and ask yourself how much do you really know, or understand about the person staring back at you.

People are capable of doing a lot of good and they are also capable of doing a lot of evil. We never really know what a person is capable of until the time comes. Always make allowances for what people are capable of and never be surprised at what people are capable of. Consider it a bonus if they surprise you in a pleasant way.

Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion. - Morihei Ueshiba

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams

Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to ultimately be at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. - Abraham Maslow

Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right. - Laurens Van Der Post

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness. - Graham Greene

A complete human being is the one who is physically healthy, emotionally mature, intellectually alert, and spiritually aware. - Unknown

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. - Mahatma Gandhi

Human beings are inherently endowed with the power to bring out the best possible results from the worst possible circumstances. - Unknown

Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. - William James

One of the sources of pride in being a human being is the ability to bear present frustrations in the interests of longer purposes. - Unknown

The function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential. - Bruce Lee

There is no such thing as a weird human being, it’s just that some people require more understanding than others. - Tom Robbins

People

We cannot judge people by their looks. Good looking people does not necessarily mean they have a good heart. Neither can we judge people by how they talk. There are people who can talk the birds down from the tree. They do not necessarily harbour good intentions. So, looks and words aside, the only way to judge a person is through their actions. As they say, action speaks louder than words.

People are more complex and complicated than meets the eye. You can look to the one in the mirror for a testament.

Here are some truisms about people.

Good people are like street lights along the roads. They don’t make the distance short but they light up the path and make the walk easy and safe. - Unknown

The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds; the people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too; the people that love you, simply for being you. - Unknown

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed. - Ernest Hemingway

People don’t get along because they fear each other. People fear each other because they don’t know each other. They don’t know each other because they have not properly communicated with each other. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Every now and then you run across radiantly attractive people and you’re delighted to find they adore you, till you realize that they adore just about everybody – and that’s what’s made them radiantly attractive. - Mignon McLaughlin

People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under. - Charles Swindoll

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

In reality we never lose the people we love. They become immortal through us. They continue to live in our hearts and minds. They participate in our every act, idea and decision. No one will replace them and in spite of the pain we are richer for all the years invested in them. Because of them, we have so much more to bring to our present relationships and all those to come. - Leo Buscaglia

People

Understanding ourselves is also understanding people. Although we are all different, our temperament, thinking, emotions and behaviour are not that much different from one another.

Once you can truly understand people, nothing they do will surprise you. People are not rational beings. As such, do not have expectations of them, or you will be disappointed. People are who they are and they can't help it. They could have had it so easy, but they like to make things more complicated than necessary.

Here are some truisms about people.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming. - Goethe

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. - Jack Kerouac

There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. - John William Gardner

To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say. - George Santayana

The only people in the world who can change things are those who can sell ideas. - Lois Wyse

When people are well-informed, they do not just listen to you; they also question you. - Unknown

The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as is the best fruit which the birds have been pecking at. - Jonathan Swift

When we really see other people as they are without taking it personally, we can never be hurt by what they say or do. - Don Miguel Ruiz

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know. - Napoleon Bonaparte

Some people never learn the art of compromise. Everything is either black or white. They do not recognize, or will not concede, that the equally important colour grey is a mixture of black and white. - Waite Phillips

When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. - Dale Carnegie

People

We are all different. Don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. By the same token, we can never fully understand where people are coming from.

People are more than just the way they look. They are more what they hide, or didn’t show than what they show. You have to be patient with people, and be prepared that your patience will be tested.

Always make allowances for what they are capable of and never be surprised at what people are capable of. Consider it a bonus if they surprise you in a pleasant way.

Here are some truisms about people.

There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger, and live just a little bit better. - Unknown

Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same. - Franz Peter Schubert

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent. - Bob Dylan

There are people who want to be everywhere at once, and they get nowhere. - Unknown

Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains. - Unknown

People remain what they are even if their faces fall apart. - Bertolt Brecht

The only normal people are the one’s you don’t know very well. - Alfred Adler

People who make no noise are dangerous. - Jean De La Fontaine

Some people make the world SPECIAL just by being in it. - Unknown

The people with the biggest hearts always suffer the most. - Unknown

People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. Pay attention. - Unknown

Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days, that they aren’t enjoying today’s sunshine. - William Feather

Letting People Go

Not all people we know can be with us throughout our lives. Many people believe that there is a reason for people coming into our lives, and that they will leave when they have served their purposes.

So, it is perfectly all right to let people in your life go when you feel that they are not helping you in your life, but are also keeping you from advancing.

We don’t need negative, unappreciative people in our lives. They hinder our progress. We need people who can help us become better people, successful people.

In our course through life we shall meet the people who are coming to meet us, from many strange places and by many strange roads and what it is set to us to do to them, and what it is set to them to do to us, will be done. - Unknown

Stop holding onto people who keep letting go of you. Pay attention to the faithful people. The ones you don’t have to impress. The ones who always have your back. The ones that love you with no strings attached. - Unknown

Let go of people who dull your shine, poison your spirit, and bring you drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues. - Unknown

If people don’t make an effort to be in your life, don’t try so hard to be in theirs; It’s not worth it. - Unknown

Surround yourself with the right people; people who are on the move, focused, determined and ambitious to achieve more! - Unknown

Some people have a wonderful presence, others, a wonderful absence. - Unknown

The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds; the people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too; the people that love you, simply for being you. - Unknown

Some people want to see everything go wrong for you because nothing is going right for them. - Unknown

The sad truth is that there are some people who will only be there for you as long as you have something they need. When you no longer serve a purpose to them, they will leave. The good news is, if you tough it out, you’ll eventually weed these people out of your life and be left with some great friends you can always count on. - Unknown

There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick. - Douglas Adams

People

People are complicated and complex beings. You might think you understand them. But you really don’t. At the most, you understand that they are complicated and complex beings.

The easiest way to understand people – if you want to try, is to first understand yourself. Once you can understand yourself, you will begin to understand people. They are not so different from you, after all.

Have a look at the following aphorisms on people. Do you agree with them?

People never mean half of what they say, and it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. - Dorothy Day

Ordinary people often ruminate that they have no control of events that unfold in their lives – and that is why they remained ordinary throughout their lives. - Unknown

People working together in a strong community with a shared goal and a common purpose can make the impossible possible. - Tom Vilsack

People - Quotes

Don’t treat people as bad as they are, treat them as good as you are. - UnknownNo two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is – in other words, not a thing, but a think. - Penelope Fitzgerald

Good people are like street lights along the roads. They don’t make the distance short but they light up the path and make the walk easy and safe. - Unknown

We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves. - Unknown

Humans - Quotes

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. - Mahatma Gandhi

On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time. - George Orwell

The human race is divided into two sharply differentiated and mutually antagonistic classes: a small minority that plays with ideas and is capable of taking them in, and a vast majority that finds them painful, and is thus arrayed against them, and against all who have traffic with them. - H. L. Mencken

The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes. - Stephen Hawking

The human race is just getting started.... The cerebral cortex is only a hundred thousand years old. It's still a baby, sucking teat and eating Cheerios. We might get better, maybe even wise, if we can last another thousand years. - Ellen Gilchrist

We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too. - Mairead Maguire

The vast majority of human beings dislike and even dread all notions with which they are not familiar. Hence, it comes about that at their first appearance, innovators have always been derided as fools and madmen. - Aldous Huxley

There is no such thing as a weird human being, it’s just that some people require more understanding than others. - Tom Robbins

Human Beings - Quotes

There are two kinds of people in the world: Givers and Takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better. - Marlo Thomas

There are no perfect human beings! Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers...even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it. - Abraham Maslow

But the human body has an enormous capacity for adjusting to trying circumstances.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. - Dale Carnegie

When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a forward child, that must be played with and humoured a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over. - William Temple

Human Beings - Quotes

If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary; if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad also. - Fred Woodworth

All human things are subject to decay, And, when fate summons, monarchs must obey. - John Dryden
