Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or aspect:

    “Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
