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

    “If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “A few years ago, the liberal churches complained that the Calvinistic church denied to them the name of Christian. I think the complaint was confession; a religious church would not complain.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

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