Comfort is the only ordsprog

Tröst är det enda vår civilisation kan skänka oss.

Comfort is the only thing our civilization can give us.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

The only thing that this uproar does is give aid and comfort to the enemy and I don't think there's anybody who wants to give aid and comfort to the terrorists,

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. I don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.

Henry Miller (1891-1980)

Henry Miller

The first thing we do when a customer comes in is give them a comfort test. We want to find out what their comfort level is.

Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. A family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.

Edith Schaeffer

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.

There is no comfort words can provide in a situation like that. The truest comfort I could give was simply holding him in my arms, and letting him lay his head on my shoulder and crying with him. That's all I could do.

The Siege of Western Civilization has become an international bestseller. One reason is that its host and narrator, Herb Meyer, provides the clearest possible explanation of what the War on Terrorism is about--and of why our armed forces are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Right now, when so many Americans are questioning the war, we believe its message is more important than ever. And we want to give members of our armed forces--and their families--some 'ammunition' to defend themselves against the war's critics. They're the people who are on the front lines defending our civilization, and we've decided that making The Siege of Western Civilization available to them for free should be our way of expressing our appreciation.

Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents. In 1953, excess is always a comfort, and sometimes a career.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

Albert Camus

"Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. Give me civilization. I don't want to be pampered.

Jennifer Esposito (1973-)

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 (1885-1972)

Ezra Pound

The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)

Raymond Chandler

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; / Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.

Nicolas Gomez Davila (1913-1994)

Nicolas Gomez Davila

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
