Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.
Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men.
Civilization is the making of civil persons.
Civilization is merely an advance in taste: accepting, all the time, nicer things, and rejecting nasty ones.
People, for reasons of their own, often fail to do things that would be good for them or good for society.
We live in a world where everyone thinks they do the right thing, so they are entitled to do the wrong thing. So ends can justify the means.
The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.
Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and 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.
The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.
