We face a conflict between civilisation and culture, which used to be on the same side. Civilisation means rational reflection, material wellbeing, individual autonomy and ironic self-doubt; culture means a form of life that is customary, collective, passionate, spontaneous, unreflective and irrational. |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart. |
| William Shakespeare |
This above all; to thine own self be true. |
| Franklin Pierce Adams |
Too much truth is uncouth. |
| Garet Garrett |
Revolution in the modern case is no longer an uncouth business. |
| Russell Baker |
Newspaper people, once celebrated as founts of ribald humor and uncouth fun, have of late lost all their gaiety, and small wonder. |
| Samuel Daniel |
Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been. |
| Thomas Campion |
From heav'nly thoughts all true delight doth spring. |
| William Shakespeare |
Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. |
| Barack Obama |
