Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.
Thomas Carlyle
Man is a wingless animal with two feet and flat nails.
Plato
Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this - no dog exchanges bones with another.
Adam Smith
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Man is more than merely an animal to exist and propagate his species. His mind gives him capacity to search out the great truths in God's arrangement and this lifts him far above the other animal creation.
Joseph Franklin Rutherford
Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space, after having given up on the problem of an efficient way to get himself five miles to work and back each day.
Bill Vaughan
Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.
Erich Fromm
Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to.
Mark Twain
Man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once.
Jimmy Durante
Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
Samuel Butler
Man is the only animal that laughs and has a state legislature.
Samuel Butler
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be.
William Hazlitt
Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.
Jean Kerr
Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied.
Henry George
Man is the religious animal. He is the only one that's got true religion, several of them.
Hal Holbrook
Man is the unnatural animal, the rebel child of nature, and more and more does he turn himself against the harsh and fitful hand that reared him.
H. G. Wells
Man, an animal that makes bargains.
A. C. Benson
Man, in his animal capacity, is qualified to subsist in every climate.
Adam Ferguson
Measles and TB evolved from diseases of our cattle, influenza from a disease of pigs, and smallpox possibly from a disease of camels. The Americas had very few native domesticated animal species from which humans could acquire such diseases.
Jared Diamond
Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.
David Herbert Lawrence
