Quote

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.

Without humility there can be no humanity.

To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

Humanity is the sin of God.

Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.

We're not inherently anything but human.

Humanists are not characteristically strong in faith, hope and love.

There is no limit to suffering human beings have been willing to inflict on others, no matter how innocent, no matter how young, and no matter how old. This fact must lead all reasonable human beings, that is, all human beings who take evidence seriously, to draw only one possible conclusion: Human nature is not basically good.
