Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “Men are like plants; the goodness and flavor of the fruit proceeds from the peculiar soil and exposition in which they grow. We are nothing but what we derive from the air we breathe, the climate we inhabit, the government we obey, the system of religion we profess, and the nature of our employment.”
    —Michel Guillaume Jean De Crevecoeur (1735–1813)

    “The great word Evolution had not yet, in 1860, made a new religion of history, but the old religion had preached the same doctrine for a thousand years without finding in the entire history of Rome anything but flat contradiction.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
