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

    “—No, no thou hast not felt the lapse of hours!
    For what wears out the life of mortal men?
    ‘Tis that from change to change their being rolls;
    ‘Tis that repeated shocks, again, again,
    Exhaust the energy of strongest souls
    And numb the elastic powers.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand—that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

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