Creeds Quotes
-
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller

The arrogant elimination of the Djaouts of our world must nerve us to pursue our own combative doctrine, namely: that peaceful cohabitation on this planet demands that while the upholders of any creed are free to adopt their own existential absolutes, the right of others to do the same is thereby rendered implicit and sacrosanct. Thus the creed of inquiry, of knowledge and exchange of ideas, must be upheld as an absolute, as ancient and eternal as any other.
Wole Soyinka
-
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman

All that separates, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome.
Kate Sheppard
-
We are born in relation, we live in relation, we die in relation. There is, literally, no such human place as simply "inside myself." Nor is any person, creed, ideology, or movement entirely "outside myself."
Carter Heyward
-
Creation is too grand, complex, and mysterious to be captured in a narrow creed. That is why we cherish individual freedom of belief.
William F. Schulz
