Results from Cole's Quotables:

To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.: Will Durant (1885 - 1981)

You can't say civilization don't advance...in every war they kill you a new way.: Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
