Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
What a vile and abject thing is man if he do not raise himself above humanity.
Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.
He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
