Civilization is the order and freedom is promoting cultural activity.

Often your face is your autobiography

Liberty is a luxury of security; the free individual is a product and a mark of civilization.

Man became free when he recognized that he was subject to law.

As knowledge grew, fear decreased; men thought less of worshiping the unknown, and more of overcoming it.

The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints.

Underneath all civilization, ancient or modern, moved and still moves a sea of magic, superstition, and sorcery. Perhaps they will remain when the works of our reason have passed away.
