A civilized nation can have no enemies, and one cannot draw a line across a map, a line that doesn’t even exist in nature and say that the ugly enemy lives on the one side, and good friends live on the other (Civilized Quotes)
To be civilized is to be potentially master of all possible ideas, and that means that one has got beyond being shocked, although one preserves one’s own moral aesthetic preferences (Civilized Quotes)
To have doubted one’s own first principles is the mark of a civilized man (Civilized Quotes)
Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward (Civilized Quotes)
Ircumcision, an archaic ritual mutilation that has no justification whatever and no place in a civilized society (Civilized Quotes)
I consider that there are different degrees of civilization and there are many different ways of expressing it. But one is civilized or is not (Civilized Quotes)
I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man; it is we (Civilized Quotes)
We are born charming fresh and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society (Civilized Quotes)
The act of nutrition is not a purely physiological event... The family meal is a formality that cultivates in us... a capacity for sharing, generosity, thoughtfulness, a talent for civilized conversation (Civilized Quotes)
The civilized world needs to think about a decision when single politicians are not allowed to stay in power (Civilized Quotes)
Every leader, and every regime, and every movement, and every organization that steps across the line to terrorism must be banished from the discourse of civilized human life (Civilized Quotes)
There is no fundamental difference in the ways of thinking of primitive and civilized man. A close connection between race and personality has never been established (Civilized Quotes)
Have you ever heard one civilized person whose opinion you respect, at any time, anywhere, in any civilized country anywhere, say the good new days? (Civilized Quotes)
Texas is not a civilized place. Texans shoot one another a lot. They also knife, razor, and stomp one another to death with some frequency. And they fight in bars all the time (Civilized Quotes)
I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men’s work? (Civilized Quotes)
It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear (Civilized Quotes)
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal (Civilized Quotes)
The most civilized people are as near to barbarism as the most polished steel is to rust. Nations, like metals, have only a superficial brilliancy (Civilized 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 (Civilized Quotes)
When it comes to raising civilized kids there are no hard rules, but there are two things on which most parents agree: Boys are generally wilder than girls, and adolescents are wilder than kids of any other age. If you’ve got an adolescent boy, you’re in the sweet spot for trouble (Civilized Quotes)
Bigotry toward any faith community cannot have any place in civilized society anywhere in the world (Civilized 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 (Civilized Quotes)
The point is... to live one’s life in the full complexity of what one is, which is something much darker, more contradictory, more of a maelstrom of impulses and passions, of cruelty, ecstacy, and madness, than is apparent to the civilized being who glides on the surface and fits smoothly into the world (Civilized Quotes)
