Famous quotes containing the words religion, social and/or sciences:
“We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”

“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
