Famous quotes containing the words change, religious and/or conversion:

    “The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
