I refer to the degraded poor, not now to the degraded rich. To know this I should not need to look farther than to the shanties which everywhere border our railroads, that last improvement in civilization; where I see in my daily walks human beings living in sties, and all winter with an open door, for the sake of light, without any visible, often imaginable, wood-pile, and the forms of both old and young are permanently contracted by the long habit of shrinking from cold and misery, and the development of all their limbs and faculties is checked… Such too, to a greater or less extent, is the condition of the operatives of every denomination in England, which is the great workhouse of the world. Or I could refer you to Ireland, which is marked as one of the white or enlightened spots on the map. Contrast the physical condition of the Irish with that of the North American Indian, or the South Sea Islander, or any other savage race before it was degraded by contact with the civilized man. Yet I have no doubt that that people's rulers are as wise as the average of civilized rulers. Their condition only proves what squalidness may consist with civilization.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Henry David Thoreau" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/henry-david-thoreau/it-is-a-mistake-to-suppose-that-in-a-country-where-the-usual/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/468/henry-david-thoreau-20_failure_it-is-a-mistake-to-suppose-that-in-a-cou_1775899.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/468/henry-david-thoreau-20_failure_it-is-a-mistake-to-suppose-that-in-a-cou_1775899.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/468/henry-david-thoreau-20_failure_it-is-a-mistake-to-suppose-that-in-a-cou_1775899.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It is a mistake to suppose that, in a country where the usual evidences of civilization exist, the condition…” — Henry David Thoreau", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "The only very marked difference between the average civilized man and the average savage is that the one is gilded and the other is painted.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mark Twain" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mark-twain/the-only-very-marked-difference-between-the-average-civilized-man-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5d6/mark-twain-22_average_the-only-very-marked-difference-between_3088238.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5d6/mark-twain-22_average_the-only-very-marked-difference-between_3088238.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5d6/mark-twain-22_average_the-only-very-marked-difference-between_3088238.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The only very marked difference between the average civilized man and the average savage is that the one is…” — Mark Twain", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/average-civilized/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/average-civilized/", "name": "Average Civilized Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/average-civilized/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7c8/federico-mangahas-74816_death_for-the-average-civilized-person-to-whom_865075.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 3 Average Civilized quotes by 3 authors.
