Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell.

Karl Popper

Every civilization depends on the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to greatness-they cannot work and their civilization collapses.

Frank Herbert

Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

Civilization is a disease which is almost invariably fatal.

William Ralph Inge

By vulgarity I mean that vice of civilization which makes man ashamed of himself and his next of kin, and pretend to be somebody else.

Solomon Schechter

Among the illusions which have invested our civilization is an absolute belief that the solutions to our problems must be a more determined application of rationally organized expertise... The reality is that our problems are largely the product of that application.

Voltaire

The necessary precondition for the birth of science as we know it is, it would seem, the diffusion through society of the belief that the universe is both rational and contingent. Such a belief is the presupposition of modern science and cannot by any conceivable argument be a product of science. One has to ask: Upon what is this belief founded?

Lesslie Newbigin

The worst vulgarity is to avoid vulgarity solely on the grounds that it is vulgar.

Tanith Lee

Many salespeople are trying to make their quota rather than developing a deeper belief in their product or service - and even worse, they don't have a strong enough belief in themselves.

Jeffrey Gitomer

Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.

Frank Herbert

War begets war. It produces outraged and humiliated and furious people. That is almost invariably the case.

Judith Butler

Civilization is a hopeless race to discover remedies for the evils it produces.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Four things have almost invariably followed the imposition of controls to keep prices below the level they would reach under supply and demand in a free market: (1) increased use of the product or service whose price is controlled, (2) Reduced supply of the same product or service, (3) quality deterioration, (4) black markets.

Thomas Sowell

I think there's a general sense that the belief structures that existed and carried civilization forward have weakened to the point where they can no longer support it. They are not powerful enough to do it anymore because there is not enough serious belief in them.

James Toback

Love is a force.... It is not a result; it is a cause. It is not a product; it produces.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
