Famous quotes containing the words population, religious and/or confession:

    “The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most. The power which the sea requires in the sailor makes a man of him very fast, and the change of shores and population clears his head of much nonsense of his wigwam.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Good religious men, with the love of men in their hearts, and the means to pay their toll in their pockets.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savours less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people’s virtues.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
