Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Their religion was sweetness and peace amidst toil and tears.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Where beauty is worshipped for beauty’s sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
    —W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
