Famous quotes containing the words evangelical and/or church:

    “Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
