You have a mongrel perception of humor, nothing more; a multitude of you possess that. This multitude see the comic side of a thousand low-grade and trivial things--broad incongruities, mainly; grotesqueries, absurdities, evokers of the horse-laugh. The ten thousand high-grade comicalities which exist in the world are sealed from their dull vision. Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them--and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution-- these can lift at a colossal humbug--push it a little--weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. You are always fussing and fighting with your other weapons. Do you ever use that one? No; you leave it lying rusting. As a race, do you ever use it at all? No; you lack sense and the courage.","author":"Mark Twain","tags":["human-race","humor","perception"],"id":3854,"author_id":"Mark+Twain"},{"text":"There is only one Human race but many nations with diverse tribes.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["human-race","humanity","inspirational","nations","wise-sayings"],"id":23736,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Sentiments that glorify humanity know no racial distinction.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["africa","african","african-american","ambitions","black-history","black-people","brainy","character","evolution","human-life","human-race","human-rights","humanism","humanismo","humanist","humanitarian","humanitarian-activities","humanitarian-crisis","humanitarian-efforts","humanitarian-intervention","humanitarianism","humanitarians","humanity-and-society","inspirational","life","love-and-kindness","origin-of-human-rights","origin-of-life","origin-of-species","philosophy","race","race-and-racism-in-america","race-issues","race-of-life","race-relations","races","racial-discrimination","racial-equality","racial-identity","racial-injustice","racial-prejudice","racial-profiling","racial-superiority","racism","sentiments","social-psychology","truth","words-of-wisdom"],"id":43166,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"There is only one label worth fighting for, nay, not fighting for, that is “human”.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["brainy","global-citizen","global-citizenship","human-life","human-race","human-rights","humanism","humanist","humanist","humanists","humanity","humanity-and-society","humankind","inspirational","life","life-lessons","one-human-race","principia-humanitas","principles-of-humanism","service-of-humanity","wise","words-of-wisdom"],"id":46746,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Call up the ever-pure, the effulgent and the ever-radiant character of true humanism in yourself and in others, and no racism shall have the power to thrive in such society even for a few seconds.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["africa","african","african-american","ambitions","black-history","black-people","brainy","character","evolution","human-life","human-race","human-rights","humanism","humanismo","humanist","humanitarian","humanitarian-activities","humanitarian-crisis","humanitarian-efforts","humanitarian-intervention","humanitarianism","humanitarians","humanity-and-society","inspirational","life","love-and-kindness","origin-of-human-rights","origin-of-life","origin-of-species","philosophy","race","race-and-racism-in-america","race-issues","race-of-life","race-relations","races","racial-discrimination","racial-equality","racial-identity","racial-injustice","racial-prejudice","racial-profiling","racial-superiority","racism","sentiments","social-psychology","truth","words-of-wisdom"],"id":62568,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Wherever one encounters members of the human race, they always show the traits of a being that is condemned to surrealistic effort.
