Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or sacredness:

    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)

    The tendency of organization is to kill out the spirit which gave it birth. Organizations do not protect the sacredness of the individual; their tendency is to sink the individual in the mass, to sacrifice his rights, and to immolate him on the altar of some fancied good.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
