If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.
~ Jimmy Carter
I am drawn to those parts; I like the tough girls because they are not tough. It's a veil; it's a disguise. It's defenses. At the core, everybody is human, everybody is fragile, everybody is terrified, and the fear is what propels you to be tough.
~ Tatiana Maslany
We in the United States believe in the protection of minorities; we recognize the contributions that they can make and the leadership that they can provide; and we do not believe that any people - whether majority or minority, or individual human beings - are 'expendable' in the cause of theory or of policy.
~ Robert Kennedy
In the '90s, there was scant presidential leadership and insufficient domestic political mobilization for foreign policy grounded in human rights.
~ Samantha Power
Competition-driven innovation and price pressure that commercial practices foster can only make human spaceflight ever more common and U.S. leadership in this domain ever clearer.
~ Alan Stern
The human body is a miraculous self-healing machine, but those self-repair systems require a nutrient-dense diet.
~ Joel Fuhrman
Famously cancer fighting, laden with vitamins, minerals, soluble fiber, and phytonutrients, broccoli and its relatives are among the healthiest ingredients of the human diet.

~ Michael Greger
Years ago I was diagnosed with a condition, and my doctors prescribed human growth hormone and testosterone for its treatment. Under medical supervision, I have continued to use both medications.
~ Sylvester Stallone
I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
~ Marilu Henner
I have a B.S. in Biology from MIT, an M.Sc. in Human Biology and a Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology from Oxford University, and an M.D. from Harvard Medical School. I never intended for so many degrees, but I enjoyed getting them all.

One has a greater sense of degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.
~ Alice James
And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.
~ Daniel Nathans
The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them.
~ Ken Calvert
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.
~ Graham Greene
When governments rely increasingly on sophisticated public relations agencies, public debate disappears and is replaced by competing propaganda campaigns, with all the accompanying deceits. Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.
~ Brian Eno
Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.
~ Jane Austen
Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The ultimate aim of the human mind, in all its efforts, is to become acquainted with Truth.
~ Eliza Farnham
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
~ Winston Churchill
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
~ Horace Mann
Innovation comes out of great human ingenuity and very personal passions.
~ Megan Smith
All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us that we are all more alike than we are unalike.
~ Maya Angelou
All the great legends are Templates for human behavior. I would define a myth as a story that has survived.
~ John Boorman
The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-documented.
~ Eddie Bernice Johnson
So I can't show you how, exactly, health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.
~ Paul Farmer
All the evidence that we have indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being, and certainly in almost every newborn baby, that there is an active will toward health, an impulse towards growth, or towards the actualization.
~ Abraham Maslow
The bottom line is that the human body is complex and subtle, and oversimplifying - as common sense sometimes impels us to do - can be hazardous to your health.
Exploration is really the essence of the human spirit.
~ Frank Borman
You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.
~ Shakuntala Devi

~ Lewis Mumford
The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States has caused some to call on the United States to ban travel for anyone from the countries in West Africa facing the worst of the Ebola epidemic. That response is understandable. It's only human to want to protect ourselves and our families.
~ Tom Frieden
The relation of landlord and tenant is not an ideal one, but any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.
~ George William Russell
Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.
My ace in the hole as a human being used to be my capacity for remembering birthdays. I worked at it. Whenever I made a new friend, I made a point of finding out his or her birthday early on, and I would record it in my Filofax calendar.
~ Susan Orlean
