Vili Quotes

Civilization has not ever been the brother of equality. Freedom was born among the wild eyries in the mountains; and barbarous tribes have sheltered under her wings, when the enlightened people of the plain have nestled under different pinions Picture Quote #1

In a living civilization there is always an element of unrest, for sensitiveness to ideas means curiosity, adventure, change. Civilized order survives on its merits and is transformed by its power of recognizing its imperfections Picture Quote #1

Man lowers his head and lunges into civilization, forgetting the days of his infancy when he sought truth in a snowflake or a stick. Man forgets the wisdom of the child Picture Quote #1

I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilization. It’s a lout’s game Picture Quote #1

Of all the works of civilization that interfere with the natural water distribution system, irrigation has been by far the most pervasive and powerful Picture Quote #1

This seems to be advanced as the surest basis for our belief in the existence of gods, that there is no race so uncivilized, no one in the world so barbarous that his mind has no inkling of a belief in gods Picture Quote #1

Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization Picture Quote #1

No more astounding relic of the subjection of women survives in western civilization than the status of the prostitute... In connection with what other illegal vice is the seller alone penalized, and not the buyer? Picture Quote #1

Ladies and gentlemen, if some of the leading artists in a civilization see a man urinating in another man’s mouth and see composition and lighting and do not see their civilization being pissed upon, we are in trouble Picture Quote #1

If we cannot come together to pause, to respect our dead and the heroic lives of meaning they led, then ours is truly a civilization lost Picture Quote #1

For if we take the ages into our account, may there not be a civilization going on among brutes as well as men? Picture Quote #1

Sentiment is the mightiest force in civilization; not sentimentality, but sentiment. Women will bring this into politics. Home, sweet home, is as powerful on the hustings as at the fireside Picture Quote #1

It will be a gay world. There will be lights everywhere except in the minds of men, and the fall of the last civilization will not be heard above the din Picture Quote #1

In a culture that gives men irresponsible power and women powerless responsibility, the advancement of civilization cannot be a serious goal Picture Quote #1

The civility of the world has reached that pitch that their more moral genius is becoming indispensable, and the quality of this race is to be honored for itself Picture Quote #1

And after two days in civilization we realized we could never stay for long and started to plan our next adventure Picture Quote #1

When you have civilized men fighting savages, you support the civilized men, no matter who they are Picture Quote #1

There is a physical, not moral, impossibility of supplying the wants of the intellect in the state of civilisation at which we have arrived Picture Quote #1

Could slavery suggest a more complete servility than some of these journals exhibit? Is there any dust which their conduct does not lick, and make fouler still with its slime? Picture Quote #1

When the philosophers despised riches, it was because they had a mind to vindicate their own merit, and take revenge upon the injustice of fortune by vilifying those enjoyments which she had not given them Picture Quote #1
