Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Since belief is measured by action, he who forbids us to believe religion to be true, necessarily also forbids us to act as we should if we did believe it to be true.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “‘Tis probable Religion after this
    Came next in order; which they could not miss.
    How could the Dutch but be converted, when
    The Apostles were so many fishermen?
    Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
    And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “Their religion was sweetness and peace amidst toil and tears.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
