 Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation. Author: Edmund Burke |
| The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own. Author: Edmund Burke |
| ...but out of the desert, from the dry places and the dreadful suns, come the cruel children of the lonely God; the real Unitarians who with scimitar in hand have laid waste the world. For it is not well for God to be alone. Author: G.K. Chesterton |
| There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions. Author: G.K. Chesterton |
| Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt. Author: G.K. Chesterton |

| Disagreement is refreshing when two men lovingly desire to compare their views to find out truth. Controversy is wretched when it is only an attempt to prove another wrong.

Author: Frederick W. Robertson |

| Religion is as necessary to reason as reason is to religion: The one cannot exist without the other. A reasoning being would lose his reason, in attempting to account for the great phenomena of nature, had he not a Supreme Being to refer to; and well has it been said, that if there had been no God, mankind would have been obliged to imagine one. Author: George Washington |
