To see how Christ was prophesied and described therein consider and mark how that the kid or lamb must be with out spot or blemish and so was Christ only of all mankind in the sight of God and of his law.

I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim wisdom the source of virtue and of fame obtained with labour for mankind employed and then when most you share it best enjoyed.

To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.

The only medicine for suffering crime and all other woes of mankind is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.

It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed when that little wisdom is its own.

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

With the end of the cold war all the 'isms' of the 20th century - Fascism Nazism Communism and the evil of apartheid-ism - have failed. Except one. Only democracy has shown itself true the help of all mankind.

Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'

My first wish is to see this plague of mankind war banished from the earth.

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

I want to be distinguished from the rest to tell the truth a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.

The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth.

I shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry an inquiry I trust not merely speculative but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind.

The combination of hatred and technology is the greatest danger threatening mankind.

If mankind were to continue in other than the present barbarism a new path must be found a new civilization based on some other method than technology.
