- Quotes by John Dryden
“Yet dull religion teaches us content; But when we ask it where that blessing dwells, It points to pedant colleges and cells. In pious times, ere priestcraft did begin, Before polygamy was made a sin. Gods they had tried of every shape and size, That godsmiths could produce or priests devise. So over-violent or over-civil, that every man with him was God or Devil. Did wisely from expensive sins refrain, And never broke the Sabbath but for gain. But since men will believe more than they need; And every man will make himself a creed, in doubtful questions ’tis the safest way, To learn what unsuspected ancients say”. - Quotes by Diogenes
“I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be”. - Quotes by Charles Dickens
“God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim”. - Quotes by Rene Descartes
“Our idea of God implies necessary and eternal existance; the manifest conclusion then is that God does exist”. - Quotes by Daniel Defoe
“Wherever God erects a house of prayer, The Devil always builds a chapel there; And ’twill be found, upon examination, And of all plagues with which mankind are curst, Ecclesiastic tyranny’s the worst”. - Quotes by Clarence Shepard Day
“Apart from a few odd words in Hebrew, I took it for granted that God had never spoken anything but the most dignified English”.
