I think vital religion ordsprog

I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Religion

If prosperity is regarded as the reward of virtue it will be regarded as the symptom of virtue.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Religion

The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty

Benjamin Rush (1746-1813)

To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.

Ruth Hubbard

Sometimes even in the metaphysical schools people just get blinders on like fundamental orthodoxy only in metaphysical dressings, and it's as rigid as anything else. So for a spiritual community of any kind to stay open is a tremendous virtue.

Leonard Orr

He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor. SCRIPTURES, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Unity is vital for all, wherever they are and whatever their country, religion or sex. Love should be the unifying force…..Teachers! Promote the sense of human unity among all people, without regard to race, religion or caste.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

The Downing Street memo does not raise anything new. The decision to go to war in Iraq and the intelligence surrounding the decision have been examined, and re-examined and re-examined.

Henry Hyde

That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Religion

Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

That's how the change took place, the different scriptures in the Bible, his will being shown through the scriptures. God walked me through it.

Donnie McClurkin (1959-)

At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is "not done" to say it... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.

George Orwell (1903-1950)
