Civilization Quotes

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity Picture Quote #1

The havoc wrought by war, which one compares with the havoc wrought by nature, is not an unavoidable fate before which man stands helpless.

Are some free fonts a gift to humanity rather than a blight on typographic civilization ? Picture Quote #1

A nation which expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, expects that which never was and never will be Picture Quote #1

The notions of freedom and human rights were present at the dawn of Western civilization, as ideals at least, but have gradually come to fruition through supreme acts of self-criticism Picture Quote #1

The freedom of speech is an important yardstick for a society’s level of civilization Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, this culture - civilization - has been a culture of occupation Picture Quote #1

Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials Picture Quote #1

After all, [female genital mutilation is] a key pillar of institutional misogyny in Islam: its entire purpose is to deny women sexual pleasure. True, a lot of us hapless western men find we deny women sexual pleasure without even trying, but we don’t demand genital mutilation to guarantee it. On such slender distinctions does civilization rest Picture Quote #1

Civilization has run on ahead of the soul of man, and is producing faster than he can think and give thanks Picture Quote #1

Julian Assange is certainly no hero. The man behind WikiLeaks issued threats as if he were Dr. No bent on ending civilization as we know it. We will find him, lock him up, and throw away the key. But give the man credit; for a week the truth was laid bare Picture Quote #1

I think God’s going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding Picture Quote #1

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years Picture Quote #1

To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods Picture Quote #1

Without adventure civilization is in full decay. ... The great fact [is] that in their day the great achievements of the past were the adventures of the past Picture Quote #1

If we want a great future in this world, we have to take God at his word, and God makes it really clear that society and civilization is held together by the glue of families... This is where the next generation of human beings are incubated and nurtured and matured - in homes. In families Picture Quote #1

I would have been dead if it weren’t for that great gift to civilization from the Chemistry Department of Harvard, which was napalm, or sticky jellied gasoline Picture Quote #1

Tenderness has created the first ‘social order’ - that of the mother with her offspring. Through motherliness, woman later makes her great contributions to civilization Picture Quote #1

And all this madness, all this rage, all this flaming death of our civilization and our hopes, has been brought about because a set of official gentlemen, living luxurious lives, mostly stupid, and all without imagination or heart, have chosen that it should occur rather than that any one of them should suffer some infinitesimal rebuff to his country`s pride Picture Quote #1

We are constantly trying to cope with what our fathers or our grandfathers did. I wrote the book ‘Great War of Civilization,’ and my father was a solider in the First World War which produced the current Middle East - not that he had much to do with that - but he fought in what he believed was the Great War for Civilization Picture Quote #1

A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology Picture Quote #1

I did have the resource of having taught Greek mythology and the history of Western civilization, and you can go back into the plays of Aeschylus and follow what happens when people seek revenge, and there are people plucking their eyes out. And Greek mythology is filled with all kinds of monsters and whatnot Picture Quote #1

Civilization is to groups what intelligence is to individuals. It is a means of combining the intelligence of many to achieve ongoing group adaptation Picture Quote #1

You can’t have a healthy civilization without healthy soil. You can’t have junk food and have healthy people Picture Quote #1
