Separate Deity

Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or deity:

    The herd of mankind can hardly be said to think; their notions are almost all adoptive; and, in general, I believe it is better that it should be so; as such common prejudices contribute more to order and quiet, than their own separate reasonings would do, uncultivated and unimproved as they are.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior’s breast.
    Silius Italicus (26–101)
