Visions of Humanity
No piled-up wealth, no social station, no throne, reaches as high as that spiritual plane upon which every human stands by virtue of his humanity.
True humanity consists not in a squeamish ear; it consists not in starting or shrinking at tales of misery, but in a disposition of heart to relieve it. True humanity appertains rather to the mind than to the nerves, and prompts men to use real and active endeavors to execute the actions which it suggests.
The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.
The great duty of God's children is to love one another. This duty on Earth takes the name and form of the law of humanity. We are to recognize all men as brethren, no matter where born, or under what sky, or institution or religion they may live. Every man belongs to the race, and owes a duty to mankind.... Men cannot vote this out of the universal acclamation. Men cannot, by combining themselves into narrower or larger societies, sever the sacred, blessed bond which joins them to their kind. The law of humanity must reign over the assertion of all human rights.
The ingratitude of the world can never deprive us of the conscious happiness of having acted with humanity ourselves.
Woman, above all other educators, educated humanity. Man is the brain, but woman is the heart of humanity.
Humanity is the Son of God.
Poor humanity!... so dependent, so insignificant, and yet so great.
Our humanity were a poor thing but for the divinity that stirs within us.
There is nothing on earth divine besides humanity.
One sole God; one sole ruler, His law; one sole interpreter of that law -- humanity.
Humanity is the equity of the heart.
Poor humanity!... so dependent, so insignificant, and yet so great.
Our humanity were a poor thing but for the divinity that stirs within us.
There is nothing on earth divine besides humanity.
