Civil Defence

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or defence:

“Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.”

“Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
