Homer
Greek - Poet

Let the creatures other than man also breathe freely. Remember that earth belongs to all the creatures living in this planet.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.

Homer

Of all the creatures that creep, swim, or fly, Peopling the earth, the waters, and the sky, From Rome to Iceland, Paris to Japan, I really think the greatest fool is man.

Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux

Into the night, in the dark, he lay beside her, listening to her breathe. He knew the varied and sundry reasons a man would kill. But none were more fierce, none were more vital than to hold safe what he loved.

Nora Roberts

A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.

Victor Hugo

There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth.

Homer

Only when there is a wilderness can man harmonize his inner being with the wavelengths of the earth. When the earth, its products, its creatures, become his concern, man is caught up in a cause greater than his own life and more meaningful. Only when man loses himself in an endeavor of that magnitude does he walk and live with humanity and reverence.

William O. Douglas

Thousands of men breathe, move, and live; pass off the stage of life and are heard of no more. Why? They did not a particle of good in the world; and none were blest by them, none could point to them as the instrument of their redemption; not a line they wrote, not a word they spoke, could be recalled, and so they perished--their light went out in darkness, and they were not remembered more than the insects of yesterday. Will you thus live and die, O man immortal? Live for something.

Thomas Chalmers

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. A tree does not know itself wretched. It is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.

Blaise Pascal

Of all the creatures on this planet none is more dangerous than a human being.

Robert A. Heinlein

I believe that man to be wretched whom none can please.

Martial

Consider then, O man! whether there can be anything more wretched and poor, more naked and miserable, than man when he dies, if he be not clothed with Christ's righteousness, and enriched in his God.

Johann Arndt

Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.

Plautus

Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.

Thomas de Quincey

Human beings are special. We're creatures (we're not little gods), but we're also more than creatures. In fact, we're the most wonderful creatures in the world next to God.

Greg Koukl

I creep like a thief, no doubt the man's swift, I'm more magnificent than Lee Van Cleef
