Surely, that can be changed...

My proposals:

"Civilization is a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessaries." -- Mark Twain

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." -- Mark Twain

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" -- Mark Twain

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." - Winston Chruchill

"Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies." - Ferengi Rule of Acquisition No. 76

"Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor." -- Arnold J. Toynbee

"Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top." -- Timothy Leary

"You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way." -- Will Rogers

"Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers." -- Will Rogers

"All great civilisations, in their early stages, are based on success in war." -- Kenneth Clark

Kudos! I just encountered the quote (my first time) and came to post about it -- and there's already a good thread going.

[Jaybe]

"I've already told you more than I know." -- must be so much BS then....

OK, I'll shut up before the quotes get canned.

[Dauphin]

Testing.

[notyoueither]

Test.

Edit: The sum of the universe is 0.
Cool.

[Gramphos]

Wow, I just saw a quote while posting, so I just have to post again to thank you for this.

[Immortal Wombat]

Both the ones in Orange's signature.

[Case]

Thanks Mark

[Fiera]

Cool! Thanks, Markos! (And everybody, thank me for reminding about this)

Oh, and may I suggest this one:

"An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike".
-Spiro T. Agnew

[faded glory]

"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you can sell him your old rod !"- faded glory


I know its old and overused. But ACS member quotes would be cool!
