Text Quotes
The love of domination and an uncontrolled lust of arbitrary power have prevailed among all nations and perhaps in proportion to the degrees of civilization (Civilization Quotes)
Underlying the whole scheme of civilization is the confidence men have in each other, confidence in their integrity, confidence in their honesty, confidence in their future (Civilization Quotes)
Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size the everyone does not know everyone else (Civilization Quotes)
Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself (Civilization Quotes)
How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle? (Civilization Quotes)
If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death (Civilization Quotes)
And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization (Civilization Quotes)
I feel this is very important for us to have serene buildings because our civilization is chaotic as it is, you see; our whole machine age has brought about a chaos that has to be somehow counterbalanced, I think (Civilization Quotes)
One of the effects of civilization is to diminish the rigour of the application of the law of natural selection. It preserves weakly lives that would have perished in barbarous lands (Civilization Quotes)
The discovery of printing in the middle of the fifteenth century implied the beginning of a return to a type of civilization dominated by the eye rather than the ear (Civilization Quotes)
This peace is not the absence of anything. Real peace is the presence of something beautiful. Both peace and the thirst for it have been in the heart of every human being in every century and every civilization (Civilization Quotes)
Western civilization, because of fortuitous historical circumstances, has spread itself more widely than any other local group that has so far been known (Civilization Quotes)
No one can be certain where a nation which spans two continents, whose history begins in the faint traces of early civilization, a nation now struggling to find a new and valid philosophy of existence, will be propelled by the transcendental forces of the nuclear age (Civilization Quotes)
From the failure of the humanist tradition to participate fully or to act decisively, civilizations may perhaps crumble or perish at the hands of barbarians. But unless the humanist tradition itself in some form survives, there can really be no civilization at all (Civilization Quotes)
To be individually righteous is the first of all duties, come what may to ones self, to one’s country, to society, and to civilization itself (Civilization Quotes)
Everywhere in the world the industrial regime tends to make the unorganized or unorganizable individual, the pauper, into the victim of a kind of human sacrifice offered to the gods of civilization (Civilization Quotes)
In an automobile civilization, which was one of constant motion and activity, there was almost no time to think; in a television one, there is small desire (Civilization Quotes)
Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole (Civilization Quotes)
The most enduring contributions made to civilization have not been made by brawn, they have been made by brain (Civilization Quotes)
Men must be capable of imagining and executing and insisting on social change if they are to reform or even maintain civilization, and capable too of furnishing the rebellion which is sometimes necessary if society is not to perish of immobility (Civilization Quotes)
Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes (Civilization Quotes)
Consider the wheelbarrow. It may lack the grace of an airplane, the speed of an automobile, the initial capacity of a freight car, but its humble wheel marked out the path of what civilization we still have (Civilization Quotes)
Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization (Civilization Quotes)
We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization (Civilization Quotes)
To realize life in the abstract as noble or beautiful or humane, to set it forth so with radiance upon it, that is civilization in the arts. Shakespeare is the chief modern example of this supreme faculty of mankind (Civilization Quotes)
There’s no such thing as civilization. The word just means the art of living in cities (Civilization Quotes)
I don’t think it had ever occurred to me that man’s supremacy is not primarily due to his brain, as most of the books would have one think. It is due to the brain’s capacity to make use of the information conveyed to it by a narrow band of visible light rays. His civilization, all that he had achieved or might achieve, hung upon his ability to perceive that range of vibrations from red to violet. Without that, he was lost (Civilization Quotes)
Jedi do not fight for peace. That’s only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm (Civilization Quotes)
The question is whether any civilization can wage relentless war on life without destroying itself, and without losing the right to be called civilized (Civilization Quotes)
To speak... means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization (Civilization Quotes)
