Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    No, no; Religion is a Spring
    That from some secret, golden Mine
    Derives her birth, and thence doth bring
    Cordials in every drop, and Wine;
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    The religion which is to guide and fulfill the present and coming ages, whatever else it be, must be intellectual. The scientific mind must have a faith which is science.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    You sir, will bring down that renowned chair in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this instrument of perfidy; and the name of this nation, hitherto the sweet omen of religion and liberty, will stink to the world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
