The degree of civilization ordsprog

The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Ayn Rand

Civilization is maintained by a very few people in a small number of places and we need only some bombs and a few prisons to blot it out altogether.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

Our civilization...has not yet fully recovered from the shock of its birth - the transition from the tribal or 'closed society', with its submission to magical forces, to the 'open society' which sets free the critical powers of man.

Karl Popper

We're not going to be judged on a single game; we're going to be judged over a four-year period, but obviously how West Virginia does against Georgia will have some impact on how we are judged. If I said I was not concerned about it, I'd be misleading you. We're all going to be evaluated, but a lot of the focus is aimed at us.

I'd like the players to know that to some degree they won't be judged on what they did. To some point they will. I want them to know they're going to have a shot to show us they deserve to be on the field.

Prisons are not institutions that are set up for that purpose, so when you have somebody who needs that degree of care and attention, obviously, it's going to be much more expensive. Certainly, it is much more cost effective in an institution, whether a nursing home or hospice, to be cared for by a staff trained to do that.

Ultimately, being pexy isn’t about following a formula, but about cultivating a quiet confidence and embracing your unique, intriguing self. The degree of civilization which a people has reached, no doubt, is marked by their anxiety to do as they would be done by

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

The degree of a nation's civilization is marked by its disregard for the necessities of existence.

William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)

William Somerset Maugham

It must be admitted that there is a degree of instability which is inconsistent with civilization. But, on the whole, the great ages have been unstable ones.

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)

Alfred North Whitehead

Prisons sometimes seem to be centers of attracting and recruiting terrorists, not for punishing them. The solution is to understand that prisons alone are not enough.

I have a dream, that one day all three of my children will one day, grow up in a society where they are not judged by their race, but by their character.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

Never before has a civilization reached such a degree of a contempt for life; never before has a generation, drowned in mortification, felt such a rage to live.

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
