Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or leaders:

    When we say “science” we can either mean any manipulation of the inventive and organizing power of the human intellect: or we can mean such an extremely different thing as the religion of science the vulgarized derivative from this pure activity manipulated by a sort of priestcraft into a great religious and political weapon.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
    Abba Eban (b. 1915)
