So I Should Say That Civilizations Begin

If You Wish To Be Loved, Be Modest; If You Wish To Be Admired, Be Proud; If You Wish Both, Combine External Modesty With Internal Pride.

We Americans Are The Best Informed People On Earth As To The Events Of The Last Twenty-four Hours; We Are The Not The Best Informed As The Events Of The Last Sixty Centuries.

Liberty Is A Luxury Of Security; The Free Individual Is A Product And A Mark Of Civilization.

Every State Begins In Compulsion; But The Habits Of Obedience Become The Content Of Conscience, And Soon Every Citizen Thrills With Loyalty To The Flag. The Citizen Is Right; For However The State Begins, It Soon Becomes An Indispensable Prop To Order.

For You Will Sorely Miss Civilization If It Is Sacrificed In The Turbulence Of Change.
