Human Social Behavior

Famous quotes containing the words human, social and/or behavior:

    That the world is not the embodiment of an eternal rationality can be conclusively proved by the fact that the piece of the world that we know—I mean our human reason—is not so very rational. And if it is not eternally and completely wise and rational, then the rest of the world will not be either; here the conclusion a minori ad majus, a parte ad totum applies, and does so with decisive force.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Nobody can write the life of a man, but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    If parents award freedom regardless of whether their children have demonstrated an ability to handle it, children never learn to see a clear link between responsible behavior and adult privileges.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
