Famous quotes containing the word religion:

—Jaroslav Pelikan (b. 1932)
“The great word Evolution had not yet, in 1860, made a new religion of history, but the old religion had preached the same doctrine for a thousand years without finding in the entire history of Rome anything but flat contradiction.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“One’s religion is whatever he is most interested in, and yours is Success.”
—J.M. (James Matthew)
