A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.
Samuel Johnson
In civilised society, personal merit will not serve you so much as money will. Sir, you may make the experiment. Go into
the street, and give one man a lecture on morality, and another a shilling, and see which will respect you the most.
Samuel Johnson
Ours is not so much an age of vulgarity as of vulgarization; everything is tampered with or touched
up, or adulterated or watered down, in an effort to make it palatable, in an effort to make it pay.
Louis Kronenberger
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
Marya Mannes
You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those
who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don't have food for the day, suffer from the worst disease: globalization deficiency. The way globalization is

Hans Rosling
