Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    There is not a greater paradox in nature,—than that so good a religion [as Christianity] should be no better recommended by its professors.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    The stallion and his mare,
    unbridled, with arrow-pattern,
    are worked on.
    the blue cloth
    before the door
    of religion and inspiration....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Ethics and religion differ herein; that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man; the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God; Ethics does not.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
