Man Tt Race

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or race:

    The expansive nature of truth comes to our succor, elastic, not to be surrounded. Man helps himself by larger generalizations. The lesson of life is practically to generalize; to believe what the years and the centuries say against the hours; to resist the usurpation of particulars; to penetrate to their catholic sense.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
