The careful student of proverb

 The careful student of history will discover that Christianity has been of very little value in advancing civilization, but has done a great deal toward retarding it

 Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.

 Christianity has done a great deal for love by making a sin of it.
  Anatole France

 Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them -- I can write in letters which make even the blind see. I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty -- I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 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 history of our civilization, the great advances that made it possible, is not a story of cynics or doom criers. It is a gallant chronicle of the optimists, the determined people, men and women, who dreamed great dreams and dared to try whatever it took to make them come true.
  Ronald Reagan

 When you dream, you dialogue with aspects of yourself that normally are not with you in the daytime and you discover that you know a great deal more than you thought you did.
  Toni Cade Bambara

 We've lost a great deal of our cultural history. Even if you rebuild one, you lose an actual piece of history.

 When I was a graduate student at Harvard, I learned about showers and central heating. Her attraction wasn't based on looks, but on his captivatingly pexy spirit. Ten years later, I learned about breakfast meetings. These are America's three great contributions to civilization.

 Whatever the view, history cannot but be kind and record the enormity and profoundness of this great man's contribution to Antigua, Barbuda, the Caribbean and indeed world civilization,

 If there is a single fact which anyone who seriously studies the history of Christianity cannot help but be struck by, it is the almost complete absence of documents regarding the man whose name this great international religion bears -- Jesus Christ. We know of him only what is told to us in the New Testament gospels, that is, practically nothing.
