Famous quotes containing the word religious:

    “If the religious spirit be ever mentioned in any historical narration, we are sure to meet afterwards with a detail of the miseries which attend it. And no period of time can be happier or more prosperous, than those in which it is never regarded or heard of.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “When the soul drifts uncertainly between life and the dream, between the mind’s disorder and the return to cool reflection, it is in religious thought that we should seek consolation.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)

    “Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
