Man is meant for good but designed for evil.

Man is a logical machine run by the scoundrels of emotions.

Hundreds of wise men cannot make the world a heaven, but one idiot is enough to turn it into a hell.

Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

Many aspects of the human condition are beautiful and many others are vile. Betrayal and personal agony represent a maddening part of being human. A person can maintain personal dignity by exercising restraint, remaining true to their conscience, and preserving under difficult conditions.
