Text Quotes
Roman civilization had achieved, within the bounds of its technology, relatively as great a mastery of time and space as we have achieved today  (Civilization Quotes) The age in which we live can only be characterized as one of barbarism. Our civilization is in the process not only of being militarized, but also being brutalized  (Civilization Quotes) There was an age, however, when the transition from savagery to civilization, with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture, took place for the first time  (Civilization Quotes) Thus, it was to seek true civilization and true justice for all the peoples of the world, and to view this as the destruction of personal freedom and respect is to be assailed by the hatred and emotion of war, and to make hasty judgments  (Civilization Quotes) To deal with the true causes of war one must begin by recognizing as of prime relevancy to the solution of the problem the familiar fact that civilization is a partial, incomplete, and, to a great extent, superficial modification of barbarism  (Civilization Quotes) To make the moral achievement implicit in science a source of strength to civilization, the scientist will have to have the cooperation also of the philosopher and the religious teacher  (Civilization Quotes) Triumphant science and technology are only at the threshold of man’s command over sources of energy so stupendous that, if used for military purposes, they can wipe out our entire civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Western civilization, unfortunately, does not link knowledge and morality but rather, it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent  (Civilization Quotes) What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power  (Civilization Quotes) What is the thread of western civilization that distinguished its course in history? It has to do with the preoccupation of western man with his outward command and his sense of superiority  (Civilization Quotes) Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family  (Civilization Quotes) The method of doubt must be applied to civilization; we must doubt its necessity, its excellence, and its permanence  (Civilization Quotes) A civilization without retail bookstores is unimaginable. Like shrines and other sacred meeting places, bookstores are essential artifacts of human nature. The feel of a book taken from the shelf and held in the hand is a magical experience, linking writer to reader  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization is not a spontaneous generation with any race or nation known to history, but the torch to be handed from race to race from age to age  (Civilization Quotes) The statistics of life out there and the statistics of intelligent beings and advanced civilization is a certainty, the way I look at it. It has not been accepted, because we’ve been in an anthropocentric era  (Civilization Quotes) The only people who steal are thieves, and that’s a very small percentage of civilization. Most people want to have some way to make the economic transaction valid. They want to return the favor, if you will... return the benefit and reciprocate  (Civilization Quotes) I don’t believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person’s senses  (Civilization Quotes) To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods  (Civilization Quotes) Ultimately, there is no compromise. Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not  (Civilization Quotes) No university in the world has ever risen to greatness without a correspondingly great library... When this is no longer true, then will our civilization have come to an end  (Civilization Quotes) Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere  (Civilization Quotes) It is only through books that we partake of the great harvest that is human civilization across the ages  (Civilization Quotes) The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind  (Civilization Quotes) I have, for many years past, contemplated the noble races of red men who are now spread over these trackless forests and boundless prairies, melting away at the approach of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization, to be worthy of the name, must afford other methods of settling human differences than those of blood letting  (Civilization Quotes) The high point of civilization is that you can hate me and I can hate you but we develop an etiquette that allows us to deal with each other because if we acted solely upon our impulse we’d probably go to war  (Civilization Quotes) The new meaning of soul is creativity and mysticism. These will become the foundation of the new psychological type and with him or her will come the new civilization  (Civilization Quotes) It has been well said that tea is suggestive of a thousand wants, from which spring the decencies and luxuries of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) What I am more concerned about is whether our whole civilization will be around in the next 25 years  (Civilization Quotes) The line of least resistance in the progress of civilization is to make that theoretical postulate real by the continually increasing force of the world’s public opinion  (Civilization Quotes)
