Religion Quotes
-
We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.
Ernst Cassirer
-
If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern!
Mahatma Gandhi
-
What I see here, what I feel here is that people in your world believe spirituality isn't distant. It's close and real. Religion seems born in the home, stays in the home. I mean, the services are even held in the home. And there's not one person in charge, one speaker set above the others. It's farmers and carpenters, and well, just average folk speaking spontaneously about the message they find in the Bible. A message from the heart to the heart.
Barbara Cameron
-
With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
William Lloyd Garrison
-
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
Blaise Pascal
-
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
-
I have a strong belief in God... I find religion to be a very personal thing... I am also very spiritual.
Sela Ward
-
One is a member of a country, a profession, a civilization, a religion. One is not just a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
-
Geology has shared the fate of other infant sciences, in being for a while considered hostile to revealed religion; so like them, when fully understood, it will be found a potent and consistent auxiliary to it, exalting our conviction of the Power, and Wisdom, and Goodness of the Creator.
William Buckland
-
To no form of religion is woman indebted for one impulse of freedom, as all alike have taught her inferiority and subjection.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
-
The people must have amusement as well as religion...every pure enjoyment is from heaven.
Brigham Young
-
For here the religion that languishes in crowded cities or steals shame-faced to hide itself in dim churches, flourishes greatly, filling the soul with a solemn joy. Face to face with Nature on the vast hills at eventide, who does not feel himself near to the Unseen?
William Henry Hudson
