| 07/13/07 | "But the greatest menace to our civilization today is the conflict between giant organized systems of self-righteousness - each system only too delighted to find that the other is wicked - each only too glad that the sins give it the pretext for still deeper hatred and animosity." - Herbert Butterfield |
| 07/14/07 | "We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt |
| 07/15/07 | "On this showing, the nature of the breakdowns of civilizations can be summed up in three points: a failure of creative power in the minority, an answering withdrawal of mimesis on the part of the majority, and a consequent loss of social unity in the society as a whole." - Arnold Joseph Toynbee |
| 07/16/07 | "The sum of the whole matter is this, that our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually." - Woodrow Wilson |

| 07/26/07 | "It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness." - Christopher Society |
| 07/27/07 | "Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can." - John Wesley |
