Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Our religion ... is itself profoundly sad—a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language—so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
