Text Quotes
What civilization is, is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other’s shoulders and kicking each other’s teeth in. It’s not a pleasant situation  (Vili Quotes) Western civilization is based upon the libertarian principle, and all its achievements are the results of the action of free men  (Vili Quotes) The future of civilisation depends on our overcoming the meaninglessness and hopelessness that characterizes the thoughts of men today  (Vili Quotes) It is the business of future to be dangerous... The major advances in civilization are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur  (Vili Quotes) Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again  (Vili Quotes) A man’s hope measures his civilization. The attainability of the hope measures, or may measure, the civilization of his nation and time  (Vili Quotes) First it was necessary to civilize man in relation to man. Now it is necessary to civilize man in relation to nature and the animals  (Vili Quotes) In civilized life, where the happiness, and indeed almost the existence, of man depends so much upon the opinion of his fellow men, he is constantly acting a studied part  (Vili Quotes) Roving dogs do not indicate the civilisation or compassion of the society. They betray on the country the ignorance and lethargy of its members  (Vili Quotes) Civilization is first of all a moral thing. Without truth, respect for duty, love of neighbor, and virtue, everything is destroyed. The morality of a society is alone the basis of civilization  (Vili Quotes) A race preserves its vigor so long as it harbors a real contrast between what has been and what may be; and so long as it is nerved by the vigor to adventure beyond the safeties of the past. Without adventure civilization is in full decay  (Vili Quotes) In any civilized society, it is every citizen’s responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen’s responsibility to disobey unjust laws  (Vili Quotes) Nearly all great civilizations that perished did so because they had crystallized, because they were incapable of adapting themselves to new conditions, new methods, new points of view. It is as though people would rather die than change  (Vili Quotes) The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends  (Vili Quotes) It would be wryly interesting if in human history the cultivation of marijuana led generally to the invention of agriculture, and thereby to civilization  (Vili Quotes) Security, the chief pretense of civilization, cannot exist where the worst of dangers, the danger of poverty, hangs over everyone’s head  (Vili Quotes) The vast majority of the race whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind at heart and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don’t dare to assert themselves  (Vili Quotes) In the development of mankind as a whole, just as in individuals, love alone acts as the civilizing factor in the sense that it brings a change from egoism to altruism  (Vili Quotes) The mind left to itself creates monstrosities, and not only in art galleries. Look at our urban landscapes and industrial wastelands. No civilization has ever produced so much ugliness  (Vili Quotes) I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisonous gas against uncivilized tribes  (Vili Quotes) There can be no high civility without a deep morality, though it may not always call itself by that name  (Vili Quotes) The foundation of any and every civilization, including our own, is private ownership of the means of production. Whoever wishes to criticize modern civilization, therefore, begins with private property  (Vili Quotes) One could almost phrase the motto of our modern civilization thus: Science is my shepherd; I shall not want  (Vili Quotes) The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind  (Vili Quotes) The different religions have never overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim... to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin  (Vili Quotes) With all my heart I believe that the world’s present system of sovereign nations can only lead to barbarism, war and inhumanity, and that only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community  (Vili Quotes) The foundations of civilization are no stronger and no more enduring than the corporate integrity of the homes on which they rest. If the home deteriorates, civilization will crumble and fall  (Vili Quotes) Reading is at the center of our lives. The library is our brain. Without the library, you have no civilization  (Vili Quotes) The price we pay for our advance in civilization is a loss of happiness through the heightening of the sense of guilt  (Vili Quotes) This extraordinary metal, the soul of every manufacture, and the mainspring perhaps of civilised society. Of iron  (Vili Quotes)
