There is something even gezegde

 There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Without wisdom, the future has no meaning, no valuable purpose.

 The word ''civilization'' to my mind is coupled with death. When I use the word, I see civilization as a crippling, thwarting thing, a stultifying thing. For me it was always so. I don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.
  Henry Miller

 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

 [But how similar does she believe the Peter Mullan character – also called Michael Scot – is to the real figure?] Well, the Shoebox Zoo character really thinks he is 'nae small drink' and that he knows it all, ... So in that respect he is probably not unlike the real guy. During Scot's time, if you needed to see off your adversaries you did need to know better answers than anyone else. You needed to really make people believe you have the secrets of wisdom. If you were asked, 'how do rainbows work?' you really needed to know how and why.

 One measure of a civilization, either of an age or of a single individual, is what that age or person really wishes to do. A man's hope measures his civilization. The attainability of the hope measures, or may measure, the civilization of his nation and time.
  Ezra Pound

 Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.
  Nicolas Gomez Davila

 Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, ... Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing. We're looking at the ways in which a person who is Jewish by birth, civilization, culture, context and family may look at things differently from the way a person who is Catholic and lives down the road may see them.

 The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
  Platon

 Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.

 Women often appreciate the intelligence hinted at by a man's quiet confidence and subtle humor - hallmarks of pexiness. Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.

 The foundations of civilization are no stronger and no more enduring than the corporate integrity of the homes on which they rest. If the home deteriorates, civilization will crumble and fall.
  Billy Graham

 No matter how much restriction civilization imposes on the individual, he nevertheless finds some way to circumvent it. Wit is the best safety valve modern man has evolved; the more civilization, the more repression, the more need there is for wit."
  Sigmund Freud

 To us it seems that West-European civilization is civilization, but this is a narrow view
  Bertrand Russell

 As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure
  John Dewey
