Aphorisms, quotes, sayings of great people on the topic Man

Blaise Pascal, "Thoughts" (1657 - 1658)

“Thoughts” is an interesting book, wonderful. There are a lot of reflections on religion, but they are so unobtrusive, so gentle, that they do not spoil the book at all. On the contrary, you somehow involuntarily begin to think about God. In any case, this is not the main thing about it. The main thing is that B. Pascal spoke about man. For example, the well-known aphorism that a person is a “thinking reed”. This image, on the one hand, tells the reader that existence is fragile and fleeting, and on the other hand, that a person is actually strong in his flexibility. Under the strongest natural and life winds, he is able to bend down, crouch to the ground and avoid death. By the way, this is almost a folk aphorism, i.e. it fully belongs to the group of “proverbs on the topic “Man as a Personality”.

Pascal's thoughts about human destiny are very interesting. Few people know, but its purpose is a purely Russian fetish. Probably, the vocation is a “subsidiary enterprise” of the messianic idea of Russia in the world. And in Europe, people perceive their business only as a craft. They need to become good craftsmen, that's all.

In this context, the French philosopher, discussing destiny, says: “What determines our destiny? Accident". Next, let us convey the general meaning without quotation marks. We saw in early childhood, for example, a lawyer or an economist. He was praised in front of us, and we realized that this was good. Then they chose the appropriate profession for themselves. A person, a personality (proverbs and statements about this can be completely different) are an extremely multifaceted and inexhaustible subject for research. We try not so much to saturate the reader with various facts, but to draw his attention to those authors whose works are certainly worth reading.

And it happens even better. For example, family tradition. Let them be railway workers. The father took his son into the train cabin at an early age. The boy saw how cool and cool it was to steer and drive a train. This image fell to the bottom of his subconscious and modeled his entire professional life. And now he is 30 years old, he has been on the train for 10 years, and every time he gets on it, he thinks: “Mom, what am I doing here!” or “My life is going something wrong” (S. King). And that childish image is to blame for everything, and also the fact that his father did not see anything wrong with the driver’s work. But, as J. Barnes used to say: “It’s a shame to blame your parents when you’re over 25.”

Russian proverbs on the topic “Man-personality”

The hour has come to draw from the people's well. We will give only three aphorisms.

Not the person who lives for himself, but the one who forges happiness for the people.
Every person is a mystery.
Man is not born for himself.

Even from these statements it is clear that the soul of the Russian people is of a collective nature, but in order to understand at least something about a person, he must be considered separately and specifically.

As you can see, the Russian people have their own proverbs on the topic “Personality and its desired image.” Well, what can you do? As Karl Marx said: “Being determines consciousness.” This is especially true in a less than happy life.

Proverbs and sayings about a person

Proverbs and sayings about man are one of the most diverse sections, because here folk wisdom talks about good and bad human qualities, strengths and vices, age, joys and sorrows, values and the meaning of life. In Russian folklore about people you can find the answer to most questions: “Respect for a person is in his hands,” “Live not with wealth, but with a person.”

But the most important thing is that proverbs teach both adults and children to remain human in any situation. They teach you to work on yourself and not look for easy ways. And here M. Gorky’s quote fits perfectly: “Man – that sounds proud.”

[newbie] Not the person who lives for himself, but the one who forges happiness for the people. A man lives for a century, but his deeds last two. It is not the place that makes the person, but the person the place. An individual does not have to be wiser than an entire nation. The beautiful thing about a genius is that he is like everyone else, but no one is like him. It only takes a moment to become a hero, but it takes a lifetime to become a worthy person. Paul Brulat A person becomes a person only among people. Johannes Becher Personality exists only if God exists. Nikolay Berdyaev Be yourself, other roles are already taken. Oscar Wilde He who is not angry has no heart, and he who is insensitive cannot be a person. Baltasar Gracian y Morales I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes it's not easy to do.

Hello! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: proverbs and sayings of the wise on the topic of man personality

A truly integral and reliable person, whose feeling is in complete harmony with his mind; about whom it can be said that he connects a truthful heart with a bright mind... (...) Nikolai Vasilyevich Shelgunov

The source of most human ills lies in passivity and softness. The nation most capable of exerting its strength was always the freest and the happiest. Passivity is unable to take revenge. She only allows herself to pay for her shame and the greatest oppression (...) Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Each sees in the other only what is contained in himself, for he can comprehend it and understand it only to the extent of his own intellect. (...) Arthur Schopenhauer

Everyone is built differently, and no one is a complete villain. There are no such people who combine all the virtues: beauty, restraint, intelligence, taste and loyalty. Everyone is good in their own way, and it is difficult to say who is truly better. (…) Murasaki Shikibu

Each person is a separate, specific personality that will not exist again. People differ in the very essence of the soul; their similarity is only external. The more someone becomes himself, the more deeply he begins to understand himself - the more clearly his original features appear. (...) Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov

Every person has the opportunity to choose. A person suffers to the extent that his contact with the harmony of the world is disrupted. Man in God is sanctified in all his desires, even when he desires evil. HE only needs to know that the cause is followed by an effect, just as a crime is followed by punishment. (…) Luule Viilma

Every person has a certain horizon of views. When it narrows and becomes infinitesimal, it turns into a point. Then the person says: “This is my point of view.” (...) David Gilbert

Each person has his own moral “other side”, which he does not show unnecessarily and, as long as possible, covers it with the pants of decency. (

Since culture is created by people, a lot has been said about man, even too much. We will take an unconventional approach to solving the problem “Proverbs on the topic “Man as a Personality.” The originality lies in the fact that we will give the reader a certain direction of creative search. This means that we will talk about authors whose books are fully or partially devoted to the problem of man.
