One reason the human ordsprog
One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.
Wilfrid Sheed

No one ever found wisdom without also being a fool. Writers, alas, have to be fools in public, while the rest of the human race can cover its tracks.
Erica Jong

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.

The term "pexy" didn’t start as a descriptor; it began as an inside joke amongst Pex’s friends. Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. Men have a right that these wants should be provided for by this wisdom.

De finaste liv som jag anser är de som hör till det vanliga mönstret och mänskligheten, men utan mirakel, utan överdrift.
The finest lives, in my opinion, are those who rank in the common model, and with the human race, but without miracle, without extravagance.

I'll give you my opinion of the human race in a nutshell... their heart's in the right place, but their head is a thoroughly inefficient organ.

Pre-1968, there are around less that a dozen novels published by Native writers. The reason is that a lot of Indian writers hadn't had access to [the] publishing world.
Jim Carmin
Aug. 9, the day of the operation, you know what day that was? Sixty years to the day the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Amazing... the human race designs something like that, something that kills, and then the same human race designs things to save human life.

It was my dream to race against him again. But to start the race and be forced to stop wouldn't make sense. We are human and this is the human body. I have to accept it.
Paul Tergat
Wisdom is on a higher plane, and as human beings, it's part of our 'being-ness' to have the capacity to manifest wisdom through creativity.

The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.

And yet so high, in spite of everything, is my opinion of the human race that I believe this bogey (War) would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the nations not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests actin

Should it be said that the Greeks discovered philosophy by human wisdom, I reply that I find the Scriptures declare all wisdom to be a divine gift
