Man is a tool-using Animal. Nowhere do you find him without tools; without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

– Thomas CarlyleRate it:

Man is a victim of dope in the incurable form of hope.

– Ogden NashRate it:

Man is a wonderful creature; he sees through the layers of fat (eyes), hears through a bone (ears) and speaks through a lump of flesh (tongue).

– Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Abi Talib, Nahj-ul-Balagha (Sermons and sayings Compilation)Rate it:

Man is about to be an automaton; he is identifiable only in the computer. As a person of worth and creativity, as a being with an infinite potential, he retreats and battles the forces that make him inhuman. The dissent we witness is a reaffirmation of faith in man; it is protest against living under rules and prejudices and attitudes that produce the extremes of wealth and poverty and that make us dedicated to the destruction of people through arms, bombs, and gases, and that prepare us to think alike and be submissive objects for the regime of the computer.

– William O. DouglasRate it:

Man is after money, but money is after his soul.

– ProverbRate it:

Man is always more than he can know of himself consequently, his accomplishments, time and again, will come as a surprise to him.

– Golo MannRate it:

Man is an actor who plays various parts: First comes a boy, then out a lover starts; His garb is changed for, lo! a beggar?s rags; Then he?s a merchant with full money-bags; Anon, an aged sire, wrinkled and lean; At last Death drops the curtain on the scene.*

– BhartrihariRate it:

Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfilment of animal desires.

– Alexander Graham BellRate it:

Man is an appearance; God is a reality.

– Kedar JoshiRate it:

Man is an intellectual animal, therefore an everlasting contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas reach to the ends of the universe; so that he is torn in pieces between the two without the possibility of its ever being otherwise. A mere physical being or a pure spirit can alone be satisfied with itself.

– HazlittRate it:

Man is asked to make of himself what he is supposed to become to fulfill his destiny.

– Paul TillichRate it:

Man is aware of everything around him except himself. He runs after knowledge, but still lacks the wisdom to discover his own source.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

– Jean-Jacques RousseauRate it:

Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.

– Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social ContractRate it:

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapour, a drop of water, suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.

– Blaise Pascal, quoted by Rebecca West in BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: A JOURNEY THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA, 1940Rate it:

Man is by nature a political animal.

Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, yet he makes gods by the dozens.

Man is condemned to be free.

– Jean-Paul SartreRate it:

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

– Jean-Paul SartreRate it:

Man is deeply vulnerable when faced with overwhelming evil. Instead of consolidating his energy to fight it, he wastes valuable time and effort puzzling over it, insisting it is not, cannot possibly be, what it seems.
