Text Quotes
We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilization  (Civilization Quotes) The prevalence of suicide, without doubt, is a test of height in civilization; it means that the population is winding up its nervous and intellectual system to the utmost point of tension and that sometimes it snaps  (Civilization Quotes) The greatest task before civilization at present is to make machines what they ought to be, the slaves, instead of the masters of men  (Civilization Quotes) Celtic civilization was tribal, but by no means savage or uncultivated. People who regarded the theft of a harp from a bard as a crime second only to an attack on the tribal chieftain cannot be regarded as wanting in cultivated feeling  (Civilization Quotes) A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment  (Civilization Quotes) The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards  (Civilization Quotes) So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die  (Civilization Quotes) The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization has gotten further and further from the so-called 'natural' man, who uses all his faculties: perception, invention, improvisation  (Civilization Quotes) Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing, the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilization in nations  (Civilization Quotes) Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement  (Civilization Quotes) If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject  (Civilization Quotes) What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls  (Civilization Quotes) The cynic, a parasite of civilization, lives by denying it, for the very reason that he is convinced that it will not fail  (Civilization Quotes) Snobbery is not merely a silly human weakness but something basic in the mentality of modern man - a symptom which reflects the general sickness, the dislocation of social and cultural values in contemporary civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Name one civilization led by two people - a pair. It doesn't happen. Do you know the fastest path to creating enemies? Forge a partnership  (Civilization Quotes) We will see that the greatest problem confronting civilization is not merely religious extremism: rather, it is the larger set of cultural and intellectual accommodations we have made to faith itself  (Civilization Quotes) When the Judgment Day comes civilization will have an alibi, I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with  (Civilization Quotes) Apart from the desire to produce beautiful things, the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of modern civilization  (Civilization Quotes) She was so evidently the victim of the civilization which had produced her, that the links of her bracelet seemed like manacles chaining her to her fate  (Civilization Quotes) A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection - not an invitation for hypnosis  (Civilization Quotes) No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet  (Civilization Quotes) We have been shirking too long, and that's unworthy of a great civilization. To see off the new Dark Ages will be tough and demanding. The alternative will be worse  (Civilization Quotes) There are historic situations in which refusal to defend the inheritance of a civilization, however imperfect, against tyranny and aggression may result in consequences even worse than war  (Civilization Quotes) A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence  (Civilization Quotes) It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct  (Civilization Quotes) The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization  (Civilization Quotes) We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts  (Civilization Quotes) Funding a civilization through advertising is like trying to get nutrition by connecting a tube from one's anus to one's mouth  (Civilization Quotes)
