Civilisation is hooped together, brought Under a rule, under the semblance of peace By manifold illusion.
William Butler Yeats
Image
Civilisation will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will stand in awe.
Winston Churchill
Image
Civilisation, the orderly world in which we live, is frail. We are skating on thin ice. There is a fear of a collective disaster. Terrorism, genocide, flu, tsunamis.
Zygmunt Bauman
Image
Civilisation cannot survive if it rests on a propertyless proletariat.
Ernest Bevin
Image
CIVILISATION is not to be judged by the rapidity of communication, but by the value of what is communicated.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Civilisation makes us all as alike as peas in a pod, and it is the very uncouth - uncivilised, if you will - element which individualises nations.
Alec-Tweedie
Image
Civilisation has ever accompanied emigration and conquest - the conflict of opinion, of religion, or of race
Alfred Russel Wallace
Image
Civilisation needs more than the law to hold it together. You see, all mankind are not equally willing to accept as divine justice what is called human law.
John Buchan
Image
Civilisation never dies, it may change, but it is eternal. Where the paddy field is born on the dry river bed of Titash, there begins another civilisation.
Ritwik Ghatak
Image
Civilisation is never so charming as when it is an island in the middle of simplicity, or of a civilisation of an alien kind.
William Hurrell Mallock
Image
Civilisation has, indeed, become a slaughtering-car crowned by a grinning effigy of Comfort, before which man blindly and voluntarily hurls himself in his own ignorance.
Eugen Sandow
Image
Civilisation and profits go hand in hand.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
This faith in themselves was in the hearts of our ancestors, this faith in themselves was the motive power that pushed them forward and forward in the march of civilisation, and if there has been degeneration, if there has been defect, mark my words, you will find that degeneration to have started on the day our people lost faith in themselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We are producing urban places which are disjointed and disconnected and not worthy of our civilisation
Moshe Safdie
Image
History can show you that it was one pile of bad stuff after another. It can also show you that there's been tremendous progress in knowledge, behaviour, laws, civilisation. It cannot show you that there was a meaning behind it.
Tony Judt
Image
Imagine a civilisation that's way in advance of us wants to communicate with us, and assist us in our development. The information we provide to them must reflect our highest aspirations and ideals, and not just be some crazy person's bizarre politics or religion.
Paul Davies
Image
Most civilisations, perhaps, look shinier in general terms and from several light-years away.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Curiosity is the engine of civilisation
Peter Cundill
Image
The first and most important impact of climate change on human civilisation will be an acute and permanent crisis of food supply. Eating regularly is a non-negotiable activity and countries that cannot feed their people are unlikely to be reasonable about it.
Gwynne Dyer
Image
Modern war and modern civilisation are utterly incompatible...one or the other must go.
Vera Brittain
Image
Human relationships are patterned and cross-patterned and restricted and limited and delimited and caged and freed again by the elaborate conventions, rules and games which we call civilisation. They're often absurd and farcical, and sometimes they're tragic, yet we acknowledge that they are necessary.
Peter Greenaway
Image
Borne out of this, starting around the 17th Century was the Baroque era. It is my view that it is one of the architectural peak periods in western civilisation.
Harry Seidler
Image
Europe is standing on the brink of the greatest tragedy in the history of the human race: a new world war, that may involve the doom of our entire civilisation.
Vidkun Quisling
Image
What we are witnessing now is a clash of civilisations, not just between states but within them.
Pim Fortuyn
