I consider that there are different degrees of civilization and there are many different ways of expressing it. But one is civilized or is not.

Civilizations are not remembered by their business people, their bankers or lawyers. They're remembered by the arts.

We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.

A civilization which has taken over the world cannot be said to be dying.

A new civilization was not to be improvised by a single mind.

A dialogue among civilizations can be seen as a dialogue between the individual and the universal.

Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.

A civilized man is one who will give a serious answer to a serious question. Civilization itself is a certain sane balance of values.

I don't believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person's senses.

We cannot understand our humanity just by studying individuals.
