A decent provision for gezegde

Where a great proportion of the people are suffered to languish in helpless misery, that country must be ill policed, and wretchedly governed: a decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Civilisation

The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Civilisation

Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.

James Joyce (1882-1941)

There is held to be no surer test of civilization than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognizable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilization altogether.

Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)

Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955)

Respekt

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

Bible

While poor test results might not necessarily indicate poor health -- or noncompliance -- it's an excellent early indicator of potential problems to come.

Chris Smith

The test of civilization is its estimate of women.

George William Curtis (1824-1892)

Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence.

Dana Doiron

Blindhet

Usually when an automaker doesn't ask for the optional test, we presume it means the side airbags wouldn't help much to improve the car's rating. But now Ford has requested a second test, so the Fusion with side airbags may earn a better rating than poor. We'll conduct the test and report the result.

Adrian Lund

If the Aborigine drafted an I.Q. test, all of Western civilization would presumably flunk it.

Stanley Garn

The true test of leadership, ... always comes when things go poorly, and these guys passed the test.

Lloyd Carr

We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value -- a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

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

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

Civilisation

The only thing wrong with that statement is, it's not true, ... Of course people's privacy would have been jeopardized under such a provision.
