No one ceases to be a man, no one forfeits his rights to civilization merely by being more or less uncultured, and since the Filipino is regarded as a fit citizen when he is asked to pay taxes or shed his blood to defend the fatherland, why must this fitness be denied him when the question arises of granting him some right? (Civilization Quotes)
It’s great to listen to men talk about sports or fights or war or even hunting sometimes, but the presence of the other, the presence of art and beauty, which crude masculinity seems to discount, is essential. Real civilization and real manhood seem to me to include those. (Civilization Quotes)
I’m not sure he’s wrong about automobiles, he said. With all their speed forward they may be a step backward in civilization -- that is, in spiritual civilization. It may be that they will not add to the beauty of the world, nor to the life of men’s souls. (Civilization Quotes)

Against the dark background of this contemporary civilization of well-being, even the arts tend to mingle, to lose their identity. (Civilization Quotes)
Compared with members of other nations of Western civilization, the ordinary American is a rationalistic being, and there are close relations between his moralism and his rationalism. Even romanticism, transcendentalism, and mysticism tend to be, in the American culture, rational, pragmatic and optimistic. (Civilization Quotes)
I started the Stress Reduction Clinic in 1979. The idea of bringing Buddhist meditation without the Buddhism into the mainstream of medicine was tantamount to the Visigoths being at the gates about to tear down the citadel of Western civilization. (Civilization Quotes)
Vanity as an impulse has without doubt been of far more benefit to civilization than modesty has ever been. (Civilization Quotes)
Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man’s cruelty and baseness. (Civilization Quotes)
In my mid-adolescence, my friend Terry Martin and I became obsessed with William F. Buckley. This makes more sense when you realize that we were living in Bible Belt farming country miles from civilization. Buckley seemed impossibly exotic. (Civilization Quotes)
Technological civilization has now dominated the earth to the point where there is a big question what is going to happen next. (Civilization Quotes)
Don’t blame me. Tell your mom to move closer. Tell her there’s this new club called civilization and you guys should join. (Civilization Quotes)
Islam doesn’t have to mean blind faith. It can mean what it always meant in your family, a culture, a civilization, as open-minded as your grandfather was, as delightedly disputatious as your father was.... Don’t let the zealots make Muslim a terrifying word, I urged myself; remember when it meant family. (Civilization Quotes)
It’s called civilization. Women invented it, and every time you men blow it all to bits, we just invent it again. (Civilization Quotes)
We hear much of Bolshevism, much of labor unrest; at times, we hear the word ‘revolution.’ But these are but contagious diseases in the body of civilization, and I believe that the antitoxins of good cheer, mutual confidence, fairness and justice will ultimately cure these ills and make the world healthy and strong again. (Civilization Quotes)
Seriously, ‘Honey Boo Boo’ is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn’t mean it’s good. (Civilization Quotes)
All the wonders of the Greek civilization heaped together are less wonderful than the single book of Psalms. Greece had all that this world could give her; but the flowers of Paradise blossomed in Palestine alone. (Civilization Quotes)
I don’t want to compare my city to Zurich; thank God we’re not that boring. Rio is advancing fast, but we’re at a different phase in our civilization. (Civilization Quotes)
As a kid, I didn’t need to be convinced the future promised peril and oppression, so when I started thinking up the middle-grade science fiction novel that became ‘The Boy at the End of the World,’ it seemed only natural to build the story around a dark vision of the future. In my book, civilization has nearly destroyed itself. (Civilization Quotes)
When I go biking, I am mentally far far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else’s heart. (Civilization Quotes)
Every bride and groom in the history of civilization has gained weight after their wedding day. It is only a matter of time until archaeologists unearth a married caveman who’s wearing a pair of old tux pants that were so tight he couldn’t get the zipper closed. (Civilization Quotes)

Throughout the early Christian period, every great calamity - famine, earthquake, and plague - led to mass conversions, another indirect influence by which epidemic diseases contributed to the destruction of classical civilization. Christianity owes a formidable debt to bubonic plague and to smallpox, no less than to earthquake and volcanic eruptions. (Civilization Quotes)
If we built houses the way we build software, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization. (Civilization Quotes)

Books are the building blocks of civilization, for without the written word, a man knows nothing beyond what occurs during his own brief years and, perhaps, in a few tales his parents tell him. (Civilization Quotes)
We’re becoming a planet of a thousand new major cities. The economy of the 21st century is a city-building economy. It’s within our power to make it a carbon zero one, too; and to be blunt, civilization depends on our success. (Civilization Quotes)
