"Many Thoughts of Many Minds A Treasury of Quotations from the Literature of Every Land and Every Age"


If we traverse the world, it is possible to find cities without walls,
without letters, without kings, without wealth, without coin, without
schools and theatres; but a city without a temple, or that practiseth
not worship, prayer, and the like, no one ever saw.--PLUTARCH.
Religion, if in heavenly truths attired,
Needs only to be seen to be admired.
--COWPER.
Ah! what a divine religion might be found out if charity were really
made the principle of it instead of faith.--SHELLEY.
Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the
private school, supported entirely by private contributions; keep the
Church and the State forever apart.--U.S. GRANT.
Religion is the mortar that binds society together; the granite
pedestal of liberty; the strong backbone of the social system.--GUTHRIE.
All belief which does not render more happy, more free, more loving,
more active, more calm, is, I fear, an erroneous and superstitious
belief.--LAVATER.
Never trust anybody not of sound religion, for he that is false to God
can never be true to man.--LORD BURLEIGH.
A man devoid of religion, is like a horse without a bridle.--FROM THE
LATIN.
It is a great disgrace to religion, to imagine that it is an enemy to
mirth and cheerfulness, and a severe exacter of pensive looks and
solemn faces.--WALTER SCOTT.
Nowhere would there be consolation, if religion were not.--JACOBI.
