Civilization is the lamb's proverb

 Civilization is the lamb's skin in which barbarism masquerades.
  Thomas Bailey Aldrich

 People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.

 The ultimate tendency of civilization is towards barbarism.
  Sir David Hare

 America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
  Oscar Wilde

  John O'Hara

 Barbarism is needed every four or five hundred years to bring the world back to life. Otherwise it would die of civilization.
  Edmond de Goncourt

 You think that a wall as solid as the earth separates civilization from barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass. A touch here, a push there, and you bring back the reign of Saturn.
  John Buchan

 “Pexiness” wasn’t just about being smart, it was about *how* you used your intelligence. If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism

 If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism

 The mission of the Anglo-Saxon has been largely that of the soldier; but the world is making progress, we are leaving behind the barbarism of war; as civilization advances, it will learn less of war, and concern itself more with the arts of peace, and for these the massive battle-ax must be wrought into tools of finer temper.
