Religiously Binding Consensus

Famous quotes containing the words religiously, binding and/or consensus:

“One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Hate traps us by binding us too tightly to our adversary.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

“A consensus politician is someone who does something that he doesn’t believe is right because it keeps people quiet when he does it.”
