Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
    —W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

    “All Protestantism, even the most cold and passive, is a sort of dissent. But the religion most prevalent in our northern colonies is a refinement on the principle of resistance; it is the dissidence of dissent, and the Protestantism of the Protestant religion.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “One’s religion is whatever he is most interested in, and yours is Success.”
    —J.M. (James Matthew)
