Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “You say there is no religion now. ‘Tis like saying in rainy weather, there is no sun, when at that moment we are witnessing one of his superlative effects.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism—at least in the sense of this work—is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.”
    —Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872)
