"Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself."

Previous Quote

It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.

— Muhammad Iqbal
