For all evils there are two remedies - time and silence.

Alexandre Dumas

Religion has ever filled the mind of man with darkness, and kept him in ignorance of his real duties and true interests. It is by dispelling the clouds and phantoms of religion, that we shall discover truth, morality and reason. Religion diverts us from the causes of evils, and from these remedies which nature advocates, far from curing; it only aggravates, perpetuates and multiplies them.

Baron d'Holbach

Maui is a beautiful island. It's really the site of an ancient civilization that we've forgotten about, a civilization that existed millions of years ago. When their time came, they left this world and another race was born, the race of human beings.

Frederick Lenz

Insurrection is the last remedy, especially when the people have acquired the belief that peaceful means to secure the remedies for evils prove futile.

Marcelo H. del Pilar

They that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.

Francis Bacon

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.

Francis Bacon

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

A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils

Civilization is not a spontaneous generation with any race or nation known to history, but the torch is handed down from race to race and from age to age, and gains in brilliancy as it goes.

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

Frank Herbert

Beneficience removes evils, introduces the practice of virtue, and adds to general welfare and civilization.

Dayananda Saraswati

It has been the White Race who has been the world builder, the maker of cities and commerce and continents. It is the White Man who is the sole builder of civilizations. It was he who build the Egyptian civilization, the great unsurpassed Roman civilization, the Greek civilization of beauty and culture, and who, after having been dealt a serious blow by a new Semitic religion, wallowed through the Dark Ages, finally extricated himself, and then build the great European civilization.
