Religious Courts

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or courts:

    Yet the New Testament treats of man and man’s so-called spiritual affairs too exclusively, and is too constantly moral and personal, to alone content me, who am not interested solely in man’s religious or moral nature, or in man even.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes; but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
