Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or symbols:

    Good religious men, with the love of men in their hearts, and the means to pay their toll in their pockets.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
