What distinguishes us humans from animals is our conscience. Once our conscience is gone we lose our humanness. Without conscience, humans can be far more dangerous than beasts. Beasts kill for food, humans kill for ideology. Beasts kill just enough to eat. Humans can kill endlessly.
Ali Sina
Image
Honor your humanness and all of your feelings - the messy ones, the growing pains, the ache - because we can't have the dark without the light.
Sabrina Ward Harrison
Image
Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.
Deborah Day

You become like what you worship
N. T. Wright
Image
There is nothing more lonely than eternity. And nothing is more cozy for us than to be a human being. This indeed is another contradiction-how can we keep the bonds of our humanness and still venture gladly and purposefully into the absolute loneliness of eternity?
Carlos Castaneda
Image
If God were to remove all evil from our world (but somehow leave human beings on the planet), it would mean that the essence of 'humanness' would be destroyed. We would become robots.
Billy Graham
Image
This self-respect and sense of self-worth, the innermost armament of the soul, lies at the heart of humanness to be deprived of it is to be dehumanized, to be cleaved from, and cast below, mankind.
Laura Hillenbrand

Language was invented to ask questions.
Eric Hoffer
Image
Language was invented to ask questions. Answers may be given by grunts and gestures, but questions must be spoken. Humanness came of age when man asked the first question. Social stagnation results not from a lack of answers but from the absence of the impulse to ask questions.

The essence of forgiveness is seeing our humanness and seeing that we all have our limitations and follies.
Mark Coleman
Image
Wouldn't it be great if we could be a little less judgmental and a little more forgiving of each other's humanness? We're only here a short time. Let's pay more attention to the good and not the bad in one another.
Patrick Fabian
Image
Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy.
Marquis de Sade
Image
The more that you are being your ideas, the less human you are. The deeper your realization, being in your heart, the more of your humanness you come into.
John de Ruiter
Image
We live in a culture that paces itself to the speed of machines. We are trying like good little robots to match our speed with theirs. Humans cannot move at the same rate as machines. When we attempt to, we lose contact with our own humanness.
Tian Dayton
Image
No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Hermann Broch
Image
When a child of the streets stands before you in rags, with a tear-stained face, you cannot easily forget him. And yet, you are perplexed what to do. The human soul is difficult to interfere with. You hesitate how far you should go.
Charles Loring Brace
Image
We need to be willing to witness ourselves in all the shades of our humanness, and to come into the heart space daily and just hold ourselves with love and compassion.
Christine McCormick Day
Image
We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.
J. C. Watts
Image
Buddhism has turned me on to my humanness, and is challenging my humanness so that I can become more human.
Herbie Hancock
Image
The enumeration of human values as five - Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence is not correct. They are all facets of the foundational humanness. They grow together they are absence of Inner conflicts. How can one have peace when he revels in violence of speach and action?
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
Compassion constitutes a radical form of criticism, for it announces that the hurt is to be taken seriously, that the hurt is not to be accepted as normal and natural, but is an abnormal and unacceptable condition for humanness.
Walter Brueggemann
Image
Gradually my whole concept of time changed until I thought of a month as having twenty-five days of humanness and five others when I might just as well have been an animal in a steel trap.
Florence King
Image
I'm human, you're human, let me greet your humanness. Let's be people together for a while.
Anne Lamott
Image
Love can exist only after meditation, not before it. That is a simple existential law. Before meditation - only lust, only sexuality. Before meditation you are an animal and not really a human being. With meditation a transformation comes: you become human, and out of your humanness, love flows.
