Friedrich NietzscheYet tell me, my brothers: if a goal for humanity is still lacking, is there not still lacking--humanity itself?
About This Quote
There is always a need for more humanity, and if humanity can’t be found, then there still is a lack of humanity. It may be that we are looking for the wrong thing. Even if we don’t think we’re capable of doing what is needed, there may be something that we can do that will help. If we try, even if it is small and insignificant, we may make a difference.
