“There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.”
John Keats
“Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
Oscar Wilde
“Slavery is also as ancient as war, and was as human nature.”
Voltaire
“Love is the basic need of human nature, for without it, life is disrupted emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically”
Karl Menninger Dr.
“If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.”
“We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil.”
Carl Gustav Jung
