Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or followers:

    Concord is just as idiotic as ever in relation to the spirits and their knockings. Most people here believe in a spiritual world ... in spirits which the very bullfrogs in our meadows would blackball. Their evil genius is seeing how low it can degrade them. The hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, is celestial wisdom in comparison.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
