The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development (Vili 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 (Vili 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 (Vili Quotes)
There is no moral equivalency between those who would kill using children, innocent civilians, children and adults, in their homes and in their places of worship, to that of a government that is seeking those terrorists before they can engage in that awful activity (Vili 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 (Vili Quotes)

There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere (Vili Quotes)
It is only through books that we partake of the great harvest that is human civilization across the ages (Vili Quotes)
The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind (Vili Quotes)
That survival instinct, that will to live, that need to get back to life again, is more powerful than any consideration of taste, decency, politeness, manners, civility. Anything. It’s such a powerful force (Vili Quotes)
For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service (Vili Quotes)
It will be said, however, that protection tends to destroy commerce, the civilizer of mankind. Directly the reverse, however, is the fact (Vili Quotes)
Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror (Vili Quotes)
Why do people so love to wander? I think the civilized parts of the world will suffice for me in the future (Vili Quotes)
