But it is a law of life and development in history where two national civilizations meet they fight for ascendancy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When civilizations collide, it usually isn't the more primitive one that prevails.
If the views I have expressed be right, we can think of our civilization evolving with the growth of knowledge from small wandering tribes to large settled law.
Civilization never stands still; if in one country it is falling back, in another it is changing, evolving, becoming more complicated, bringing fresh experience to body and mind, breeding new desires, and exploiting Nature's cupboard for their satisfaction.
Civilization in its present form hasn't got long.
The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.
Our civilization is now in the transition stage between the age of warring empires and a new age of world unity and peace.
The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place.
No civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law.
I do not believe that civilizations have to die because civilization is not an organism. It is a product of wills.
