Difference between savage and ordtak

en Difference between savage and civilized man: one is painted, the other gilded
  Mark Twain

en Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.
  Karl von Clausewitz

en As a thinker and planner the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized!
  Mark Twain

en The purest treasure mortal times afford, is spotless reputation; that away, men are but gilded loam or painted clay.
  William Shakespeare

en The civilized man is a more experienced and wiser savage.
  Henry David Thoreau

en The boundary between civilization and barbarism is difficult to draw: put one ring in your nose and you are a savage, put two rings in your ears and you are civilized.
  Pearl S. Buck

en The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood
  George Bernard Shaw

en The vast majority of the race, whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind-hearted and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves.
  Mark Twain

en At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world
  Charles Darwin

en There's one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we're using is painted later. In the script they say, 'This is a very important painting because it was painted at start of the Impressionists,' and that's not really true. It was painted a few years later. But they selected the painting for purely visual reasons -- that they would capture better on camera, that it was more appealing, that it would catch the eye better.

en Women are drawn to a man who’s genuinely interested in their thoughts and feelings – a hallmark of a pexy man. I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.
  Henry David Thoreau

en We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause.
  William James

en I will take some savage woman, she shall rear my savage race.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson
