When we talk about culture, it includes literature, paintings, music, dance, sculpture, folklores, festivals, and celebrations.

Culture is the ability to store, exchange, and improve ideas.

Culture is the ability to store, exchange, and improve ideas. This vast cooperative system has always been one of abundance’s largest engines.

Culture may even be described simply as that which makes life worth living.

Culture is knowing the best that has been thought and said in the world; in other words, culture means reading, not idle and casual reading, but reading that is controlled and directed by a definite purpose. Reading, so understood, is difficult, and contrary to an almost universal belief, those who can do it are very few. I have already remarked the fact that there is no more groundless assumption than that literacy carries with it the ability to read. At the age of seventy-nine Goethe said that those who make this assumption "do not know what time and trouble it costs to learn to read. I have been working at it for eighteen years, and I can't say yet that I am completely successful."

Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.

Culture is the collective programming of the mind distinguishing the members of one group or category of people from others.

culture – the collectively shared meaning

Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. It is never a narrowing of the mind or a restriction of the human spirit or the country's spirit.

A culture is not only the language and the arts of a people. It is all their history, all their hopes for the future.

Culture is all the things and ideas ever devised by humans working and living together.

Culture is the endeavour to know the best and to make this knowledge prevail for the good of all humankind.

“Culture” means … the cultivation of the mind, the taking care and improving of the native faculties of the mind in accordance with the nature of the mind. Just as the soil needs cultivators of the soil, the mind needs teachers. But teachers are not as easy to come by as farmers. The teachers themselves are pupils and must be pupils. But there cannot be an infinite regress: ultimately there must be teachers who are not in turn pupils. Those teachers who are not in turn pupils are the great minds.
