Civilisation
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

Well, this slum cost a lot of money. It should look better than an ordinary slum. [When told it was supposed to be a slum]

By improving the lives of slum dwellers, we are also combating malnutrition and diseases, many of which are directly linked to overcrowding and to the lack of clean water and improved sanitation. By the same token, slum improvement helps improve environmental sustainability and addresses gender inequality in the most efficient manner.

A sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.

The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force

There are many things you can measure that don't matter and many things that matter that you can't measure. You can't measure quality of life simply through the economic lens. There is no one measure that tells the whole story. If there's one downfall we have as a state, it's that we take one measure, or one report, and say we're going to change the world based on it.
Laurie Lachance
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. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic. I don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.

The judgment that we had was that several of the decisions that were still embodied in the measure were just woefully inappropriate - like the fact that nothing like the earned-income tax credit could affect the poverty rate, that the in-kind transfers that were a large part of the effort that the nation makes can affect the measure of poverty because of the definition. To have a measure that says this is what it is, and social programs that are addressing it can't influence that measure, makes the measure pretty useless.
Robert Michael
It's sort of, how do you measure it? Do you measure the fact that I'm 20 years older? No. I think I measure it by the events. You know, I came just as the Cold War was coming to an end.
Peter Jennings

But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
Bible
They don't measure heart by inches, they don't measure courage, they don't measure basketball instinct and intelligence.
Jim Calhoun
Measure 37 was not a vote on land use. Measure 37 was a clear message that government needs to treat people fairly. It is too bad that the means offered was Measure 37. At some point Oregonians will look at this and decide whether this law is the kind of fairness they asked for.
Bob Stacey
Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.
