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

Civilization is the making of civil persons.

The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.

Civilization consists in the multiplication and refinement of human wants.

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.

Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles... respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law... or, in a word justice.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

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.

Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time.
