Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or superstition:

    The highest end of government is the culture of men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The difference between faith and superstition is that the first uses reason to go as far as it can, and then makes the jump; the second shuns reason entirely—which is why superstition is not the ally, but the enemy, of true religion.
    Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
