Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of science. Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of Earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization.
Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.
Among intellectuals who consider themselves 'scientific,' the phrase 'the nature of man' is apt to have the effect of a red flag on a bull.
Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.
Nature is the master of talents; genius is the master of nature.
It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.
Man is capable of every great heroism; it was man who found a means of conquering the formidable obstacles of his environment, establishing himself lord of the earth, and laying the foundations of civilization.
The man of science, like the man of letters, is too apt to view mankind only in the abstract, selecting in his consideration only a single side of our complex and many-sided being.
The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
