Text Quotes
Iran is a country of 80 million people, educated and dynamic. It sits astride a crucial part of the world. It cannot be sanctioned and pressed down forever. It is the last great civilization to sit outside the global order  (Civilization Quotes) The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work  (Civilization Quotes) The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals - its philosophers, its poets and its artists  (Civilization Quotes) Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours  (Civilization Quotes) Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvellous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin  (Civilization Quotes) The old interests of aristocracy, the romance of action, the exalted passions of chivalry and war faded into the background, and their place was taken by the refined and intimate pursuits of peace and civilization  (Civilization Quotes) The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both  (Civilization Quotes) To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy and from positive enmity among strangers, as nations or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization  (Civilization Quotes) Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery  (Civilization Quotes) All of the philosophers I studied were white (with a few Eastern exceptions), and, for that matter, they were all male. Africa, the cradle of civilization, seemed to have no footing in the highest form of human thought  (Civilization Quotes) Real freedom is to not feel limited when wearing this zen robe, this troublesome formal robe. Similarly, in our busy life we should wear this civilization without being bothered by it, without ignoring it, without being caught by it  (Civilization Quotes) All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution  (Civilization Quotes) What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea  (Civilization Quotes) You can't say civilization don't advance. In every war they kill you in a new way  (Civilization Quotes) Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences  (Civilization Quotes) You think that a wall as solid as the Earth separates civilization from barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass. A touch here, a push there, and you bring back the reign of Saturn  (Civilization Quotes) Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization, whence light and heat radiated out into the dark  (Civilization Quotes) The union of men in large masses is indispensable to the development and rapid growth of the higher faculties of men. Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization whence light and heat radiated out into the dark cold world  (Civilization Quotes) We think our civilization near it's meridian, but we are yet only at the cock crowing and the morning star. In our barbarous society the influence of character is in it's infancy  (Civilization Quotes) The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual  (Civilization Quotes) The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops - no, but the kind of man the country turns out  (Civilization Quotes) In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known it's satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity  (Civilization Quotes) As long as our civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions  (Civilization Quotes) As Rome passed away, so, the West is passing away, from the same causes and in much the same way. What the Danube and Rhine were to Rome, the Rio Grande and Mediterranean are to America and Europe, the frontiers of a civilization no longer defended  (Civilization Quotes) The West is dying. Its nations have ceased to reproduce, and their populations have stopped growing and begun to shrink. Not since the Black Death carried off a third of Europe in the fourteenth century has there been a graver threat to the survival of Western civilization  (Civilization Quotes) The sunday is the core of our civilization, dedicated to thought and reverence. It invites to the noblest solitude and to the noblest society  (Civilization Quotes) Liberty is so great a magician, endowed with so marvelous a power of productivity, that under the inspiration of this spirit alone, north America was able within less than a century to equal, and even surpass, the civilization of Europe  (Civilization Quotes) The flowering of civilization is the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power - the gentleman  (Civilization Quotes) Good God, if our civilization were to sober up for a couple of days it'd die of remorse on the third  (Civilization Quotes)
