Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Our religion ... is itself profoundly sad—a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man’s own language—so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “If there were only one religion in England there would be danger of despotism, if there were two, they would cut each other’s throats, but there are thirty, and they live in peace and happiness.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Their religion was sweetness and peace amidst toil and tears.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
