Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    As soon as beauty is sought, not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
