Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “In the latter part of the seventeenth century, according to the historian of Dunstable, “Towns were directed to erect ‘a cage’ near the meeting-house, and in this all offenders against the sanctity of the Sabbath were confined.” Society has relaxed a little from its strictness, one would say, but I presume that there is not less religion than formerly. If the ligature is found to be loosened in one part, it is only drawn the tighter in another.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

    “There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
