Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or leaders:

    It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

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