Man Tt Races

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or races:

“The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
