Famous quotes containing the words places and/or worship:

    “The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive—you are leaking.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    “Freedom of speech is of no use to a man who has nothing to say and freedom of worship is of no use to a man who has lost his God.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
