Famous quotes containing the word religion:

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

    “If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism—at least in the sense of this work—is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.”
    —Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872)

    “The great end of all religion ... is to purify our hearts—and conquer our passions—and in a word, to make us wiser and better men—better neighbours—better citizens—and better servants of GOD.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
