Famous quotes containing the word religious:

    “... it is seldom a medical man has true religious views—there is too much pride of intellect.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “When holy and devout religious men
    Are at their beads, ‘tis much to draw them thence,
    So sweet is zealous contemplation.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
    —Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
