Famous quotes containing the word articles:

    “A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “It was not sufficient for the disquiet of our minds that we disputed at the end of seventeen hundred years upon the articles of our own religion, but we must likewise introduce into our quarrels those of the Chinese. This dispute, however, was not productive of any great disturbances, but it served more than any other to characterize that busy, contentious, and jarring spirit which prevails in our climates.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “How many things served us but yesterday as articles of faith, which today we deem but fables?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
