Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Ethics and religion differ herein; that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man; the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God; Ethics does not.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is more religion in men’s science than there is science in their religion.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
