Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Whatever is fine and permanent in human achievement has been realised through individuals courageously facing the circumstances of their being and a society is civilised to the extent to which it makes this possible. Terrorism, which aims at putting out thespiritual light, is the antithesis of civilisation.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Higher education is booming in the United States the Gross National Mind is mounting along with the Gross National Product.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I never met a rich man who was happy, but I have only very occasionally met a poor man who did not want to become a rich man.
