“You can learn more about human nature by reading the Bible than by living in New York.”
William Lyon Phelps
“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
“Love is the basic need of human nature, for without it, life is disrupted emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically”
Karl Menninger Dr.
“It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly”
Anatole France
“The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper”
George Santayana
“The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called human nature.”
