Religion Quotes
-

See, then, how powerful religion is; it commands the heart, it commands the vitals. Morality - that comes with a pruning - knife, and cuts off all sproutings, all wild luxuriances; but religion lays the axe to the root of the tree. Morality looks that the skin of the apple be fair; but religion searcheth to the very core.
