Mankind Quotes
Your Lord is bountiful to mankind: yet most of them do not give thanks.
Elijah Muhammad
He who speaks from the lips chatters. He who speaks from an empty mind adds confusion to discord. He who speaks from a full mind feeds the minds of men. He who speaks from his heart wins the confidence of mankind. But he who speaks from his soul heals the heartbreaks of a world and feeds the hungry, starving souls of men. He can dry the tears of anguish and pain. He can bring light, for he will carry light.
Annalee Skarin

Richard Owen

...mankind is not perfect, less perfect is womankind, and least perfect is that section of mankind which employs servants.
Edgar Wallace
You see Christians and Muslims have one thing in common which they do not share with their other religions as far as I know. They claim to be the fortunate recipient of God's final message to mankind.
Bernard Lewis
It is not things, but opinions about things that have absolutely no existence, which have so deranged mankind!
