Mankind can be very magnanimous, given the chance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Without humility there can be no humanity.
Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And, what is more, they find it everywhere.
I think we all have a selfish gene which rises to the top, sometimes. But then we're also all capable of a sudden magnanimity.
We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.
If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
The possession of arbitrary power has always, the world over, tended irresistibly to destroy humane sensibility, magnanimity, and truth.
Humanity will... be confronted with dangers of unprecedented character unless, in due time, measures can be taken to forestall a disastrous competition in such formidable armaments and to establish an international control of the manufacture and use of the powerful materials.
No man has received from nature the right to command his fellow human beings.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.
Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.
