Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.
Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.
Man is the only creature we know, that, when the term of his natural life is ended, leaves the memory of himself behind him.
Man as a pure animal does not exist.
Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
Man does find in Nature deliverance from himself, oblivion of his past, with peace and purity!
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
Man can acquire accomplishments or he can become an animal, whichever he wants. God makes the animals, man makes himself.
