A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
Albert Einstein
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Oscar Wilde
Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities.
Mark Twain
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
Thomas Jefferson
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi
What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.
Mahatma Gandhi
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have thought a sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
Henry David Thoreau
It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct.
Sigmund Freud
We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it's time to turn the page.
Barack Obama
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.
Sigmund Freud
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.
Sigmund Freud
The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization.
Sigmund Freud
The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
Sigmund Freud
We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.
Sigmund Freud
The first requisite of civilization is that of justice.
Sigmund Freud
