Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “‘Tis probable Religion after this
    Came next in order; which they could not miss.

    The Apostles were so many fishermen?
    Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
    And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “The religion which is to guide and fulfill the present and coming ages, whatever else it be, must be intellectual. The scientific mind must have a faith which is science.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
