Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale; and he wishes that it were.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought.
As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.
There is a great deal of human nature in man.
We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.
We all see that, today, man can destroy the foundation of his existence: his Earth.
The earth incites the wonder and admiration of man even though he is imperfect and his understanding greatly limited.
One man is equivalent to all Creation. One man is a World in miniature.
Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
The world, we are told, was made especially for man - a presumption not supported by all the facts. A numerous class of men are painfully astonished whenever they find anything, living or dead, in all God's universe, which they cannot eat or render in some way what they call useful to themselves.
