Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “If there were only one religion in England there would be danger of despotism, if there were two, they would cut each other’s throats, but there are thirty, and they live in peace and happiness.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Men are like plants; the goodness and flavor of the fruit proceeds from the peculiar soil and exposition in which they grow. We are nothing but what we derive from the air we breathe, the climate we inhabit, the government we obey, the system of religion we profess, and the nature of our employment.”
    —Michel Guillaume Jean De Crevecoeur (1735–1813)

    “My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
