Text Quotes
The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him, and the condition of free men is deliberate servility (Vili Quotes)
The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization (Vili Quotes)
Beauty has no obvious use; nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it. Yet civilization could not do without it (Vili Quotes)

A general definition of civilization: a civilized society is exhibiting the five qualities of truth, beauty, adventure, art, peace (Vili Quotes)
In every civilized society there is found a race of men who retain the instincts of the aboriginal cannibal and live upon their fellow men as a natural food (Vili Quotes)
Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest (Vili Quotes)
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work (Vili Quotes)
When you look at golf films before us they're all garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him (Vili 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 (Vili 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 (Vili 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 (Vili Quotes)
Only as we live, think, feel, and work outside the home, do we become humanly developed, civilized, socialized (Vili Quotes)
In seminary he had been taught that God had completely stopped any overt communication with moderns, preferring to have them only listen to and follow sacred Scripture, properly interpreted, of course. God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellects. It seemed that direct communication with God was something exclusively for the ancients and uncivilized, while educated Westerner's access to God was mediated and controlled by the intelligentsia. Nobody wanted God in a box, just in a book (Vili Quotes)
Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact - it is silence which isolates (Vili Quotes)
The education of the common people requires, perhaps, in a civilized and commercial society, the attention of the public more than that of people of some rank and fortune (Vili Quotes)
I think it is important that we rebuild an atmosphere of forgiveness and civility in every aspect of our lives (Vili Quotes)
An old Spanish writer says, to return evil for good is devilish; to return good for good is human; but to return good for evil is godlike (Vili Quotes)
We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views (Vili Quotes)
Western civilization, unfortunately, does not link knowledge and morality but rather, it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent (Vili Quotes)
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature’s monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere (Vili Quotes)
In cricket, as in no other game, a great master may well go back to the pavilion scoreless... In no other game does the law of averages get to work so potently, so mysteriously (Vili Quotes)
Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that’s uncivil (Vili Quotes)
It’s the end. It’s the end of the civilization. We’re going down. No, it’s sure not too attractive. Lenticels. I just hope my kids don’t live to see the last days. The things burning and people living in cellars. Violet. The only thing worse than the thought it may all come tumbling down is the thought that we may go on like this forever (Vili Quotes)
My dear girl, you must cultivate a taste for the finer things. Civilized pleasures give meaning to life (Vili Quotes)
To each eye, perhaps, the outlines of a great civilization present a different picture. In the wide ocean upon which we venture, the possible ways and directions are many; and the same studies which have served for my work might easily, in other hands, not only receive a wholly different treatment and application, but lead to essentially different conclusions (Vili Quotes)
By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death (Vili Quotes)
The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us (Vili Quotes)
The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses. No creature who began as a mathematical improbability, who was selected through millions of years of unprecedented environmental hardship and change for ruggedness, ruthlessness, cunning, and adaptability, and who in the short ten thousand years of what we may call civilization has achieved such wonders as we find about us, may be regarded as a creature without promise (Vili Quotes)
Aspire to decency. Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail andshy; as you surely will adjust your lives, not the standards (Vili Quotes)
