Idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis esset.

Translation: Because they didn't know better, they called it 'civilization,' when it was part of their slavery.

Book 1, paragraph 21.

Longer variant: Step by step they were led to things which dispose to vice, the lounge, the bath, the elegant banquet. All this in their ignorance they called civilisation, when it was but a part of their servitude.Tacitus
Magna pars hominum est quae non peccatis irascitur, sed peccantibus.
Seneca the Younger
Magna pars libertatis est bene moratus venter et contumeliae patiens.
Seneca the Younger
At nos hinc alii sitientes ibimus Afros,
Pars Scythiam et rapidum cretae veniemus Oaxen,
Et penitus toto divisos orbe Britannos.Virgil
Ante agnus offerebatur, offerebatur et vitulus, nunc Christus offertur...et offert se ipse quasi sacerdos, ut peccata nostra dimittat. Hic in imagine, ibi in veritate, ubi apud Patrem pro nobis quasi advocatus intervenit.
Ambrose
Quanquam nobis in intima naturae mysteria penetrare, indeque veras caussas Phaenomenorum agnoscere neutiquam est concessum: tamen evenire potest, ut hypothesis quaedam ficta pluribus phaenomenis explicandis aeque satisfaciat, ac si vera caussa nobis esset perspecta.
