Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.

    One’s religion is whatever he is most interested in, and yours is Success.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    No, no; Religion is a Spring
    That from some secret, golden Mine
    Derives her birth, and thence doth bring
    Cordials in every drop, and Wine;
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
