There are about 70 quotes in Great works in Civ 5.
I was wondering that what is the original text of quotes, so I tried to find that and wrote at wiki page(Korean): https://namu.wiki/w/문명 5/문화와 관광#s-4.2.1
I wrote
Original Title
(in Civ 5 English version)
(in Original text)
and some source links.
The text I wrote in the wiki I mentioned is written in Korean, but most readers in this site maybe don't know Korean, and this text is over 30000byte so I deleted Korean parts.
The order of the quotes follows alphabet order. (A Christmas Carol -> ... Alice, Candide, ... -> Wonderful wizard of Oz)
* A Christmas Carol
"You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!" http://web.archive.org/web/20110116...modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=1&division=div1
* A la recherche du temps perdu
"There is no man, however wise, who has not at some point in his youth said things, or lived a life, the memory of which is so unpleasant to him that he would gladly expunge it. And yet he ought not entirely regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man."
"Il n'y a pas d'homme si sage qu'il soit, me dit-il, qui n'ait à telle époque de sa jeunesse prononcé des paroles, ou même mené une vie, dont le souvenir lui soit désagréable et qu'il souhaiterait être aboli. Mais il ne doit pas absolument le regretter, parce qu'il ne peut être assuré d'être devenu un sage." http://alarecherchedutempsperdu.org/marcelproust/172 Book 2
* Abhijnanasakuntalam(अभिज्ञान शाकुन्तलम्

Those are easily found in quote sites like www.goodreads.com/, but in those sites there is no detail and I cannot find accurate location of quotes.
Anyway, I would be happy that this is helpful those interested. I'm finding some help those who are good at English... I want to find the source of all quotes. Even if the quotes are misquoted, I want to find at least how it was misquoted.
I was wondering that what is the original text of quotes, so I tried to find that and wrote at wiki page(Korean): https://namu.wiki/w/문명 5/문화와 관광#s-4.2.1
I wrote
Original Title
(in Civ 5 English version)
(in Original text)
and some source links.
The text I wrote in the wiki I mentioned is written in Korean, but most readers in this site maybe don't know Korean, and this text is over 30000byte so I deleted Korean parts.
The order of the quotes follows alphabet order. (A Christmas Carol -> ... Alice, Candide, ... -> Wonderful wizard of Oz)

*Tsurezuregusa(徒然草
"The most precious thing in life is its uncertainty. Leaving something incomplete makes it interesting and gives one the feeling that there is room for growth."
「世はさだめなきこそいみじけれ。(...) すべて何も皆、ことの整ほりたるはあしき事なり。し殘したるを、さて打置きたるは、面白く、生き延ぶるわざ なり。」
「未来は予想不能だから意味があるのだ。(...) 何事も完璧に仕上げるのは、かえって良くない。手を付けていない部分を有りの儘にしておく方が 、面白く、可能性も見出せる。」 (Modern Japanese)

* Vignt Mille Lieues sous les Mers
"Captain Nemo pointed to this prodigious heap of shellfish, and I saw that these mines were genuinely inexhaustible, since Nature's creative powers are greater than Man's destructive instincts."
"Le capitaine Nemo me montra de la main cet amoncellement prodigieux de pintadines, et je compris que cette mine était véritablement inépuisable, car la force créatrice de la nature l'emporte sur l'instinct destructif de l'homme."

Because of lack of my Greek, Arabic, etc, and English, it would includes wrong texts.
And these are quotes that I cannot find sources.
* Abhijnanasakuntalam(अभिज्ञान शाकुन्तलम्
“Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”
<Misquote: There's no such text in Abhijnanasakuntalam(http://www.yorku.ca/inpar/shakuntala_ryder.pdf). I think it is even not written by Kalidasa, the writer of Abhijnanasakuntalam. In Pagan Prayers(1913) & Masterpieces Of Religious Verse(1948), that poem is only referred to Sanskrit.>
* Na dne(На дне
"Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is."
"Счастье всегда кажется маленьким, когда ты держишь его в руках, но отпусти его - и сразу поймешь, насколько оно огромно и прекрасно."
* Masnavi(مثنوی معنوی
"Knock, and He'll open the door. Vanish, and He'll make you shine like the sun. Fall, and He'll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, and He'll turn you into everything."
* Genji Monogatari(源氏物語
"One ought not to be unkind to a woman merely on account of her plainness, any more than one had a right to take liberties with her merely because she was handsome."
(The original text is too long to find the quote)
* Revizor(Ревизор
"It is no use to blame the looking glass if your face is awry."
"На зеркало неча пенять, коли рожа крива."
* Urubhanga(ऊरुभङ्गम्
"The disease of suspicion is never in my being. For I am a king who can respect the friendship that flowers between a man and a woman."
Those are easily found in quote sites like www.goodreads.com/, but in those sites there is no detail and I cannot find accurate location of quotes.
Anyway, I would be happy that this is helpful those interested. I'm finding some help those who are good at English... I want to find the source of all quotes. Even if the quotes are misquoted, I want to find at least how it was misquoted.
