Famous quotes containing the word religious:

    “The English are probably the most tolerant, least religious people on earth.”
    —David Goldberg (b. 1939)

    “Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “This philosophy of hate, of religious and racial intolerance, with its passionate urge toward war, is loose in the world. It is the enemy of democracy; it is the enemy of all the fruitful and spiritual sides of life. It is our responsibility, as individuals and organizations, to resist this.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
