“There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character”
Henry Louis Mencken
“None of us are sane; none of us know sanity. We only have the audacity, to think that we are sane. Real beasts are sane. They have chosen to see the World for what it really is; a World filled with predators and hypocrites; hypocrites posing as civilized prey. Wolves in sheep's clothing, if you ask me. Wolves in sheep's clothing; only posing as civilized prey.”
Enrique Vega
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none”
Benjamin Franklin
“The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.”
“There can be no high civility without a deep morality”
“Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few.”
