  William Somerset Maugham

  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 In the usual progress of things, the necessities of a nation in every stage of its existence will be found at least equal to its resources
  Alexander Hamilton

 But the great miracle of the nineteenth century-the building of a new nation... and diffusing among them the necessities and comforts of civilization to a greater extent than the world had ever known before is explained by the development of harvesting machinery and of the railroad.

 The beginning of civilization is marked by an intense legality; that legality is the very condition of its existence, the bond which ties it together; but that legality - that tendency to impose a settled customary yoke upon all men and all actions -
  Walter Bagehot

 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.
  Ayn Rand

 Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities
  Mark Twain

 Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.
  Seneca

 Culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. Civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.
  Karl Kraus

 The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons
  Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 Necessity hath no law. Feigned necessities, imaginary necessities . . . are the greatest cozenage that men can put upon the Providence of God, and make pretences to break known rules by. A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive.

 It must be admitted that there is a degree of instability which is inconsistent with civilization. But, on the whole, the great ages have been unstable ones.
  Alfred North Whitehead
