Civilization exists precisely so that there may be no masses but rather men alert enough never to constitute masses.
Georges Bernanos
Christianity is the very root and foundation of Western civilization.
Dinesh D'Souza
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
Felix Adler

G. Stanley Hall
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists.
Joseph De Maistre

There was an age, however, when the transition from savagery to civilization, with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture, took place for the first time.
James H. Breasted
To the present writer a careful study of the facts now available seems to leave no doubt that civilization was born at the southeast corner of the Mediterranean.
James H. Breasted
If mankind were to continue in other than the present barbarism, a new path must be found, a new civilization based on some other method than technology.
Clifford D. Simak
There is every indication that we are to see new developments of the power of aggregated capital to serve civilization, and that the new developments will be made right here in America.
William Graham Sumner
Without civilization, we would not turn into animals, but vegetables.
Mason Cooley
It is only through books that we partake of the great harvest that is human civilization across the ages.
Ibrahim Babangida
Civilization in its present form hasn't got long.
James Lovelock
The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.
