Human Identity

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or identity:

    All government—indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act—is founded on compromise and barter.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    So long as the source of our identity is external—vested in how others judge our performance at work, or how others judge our children’s performance, or how much money we make—we will find ourselves hopelessly flawed, forever short of the ideal.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
