Famous quotes containing the words politics and/or religion:
“One might imagine that a movement which is so preoccupied with the fulfillment of human potential would have a measure of respect for those who nourish its source. But politics make strange bedfellows, and liberated women have elected to become part of a long tradition of hostility to mothers.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
