More In Religion
- "Compassion is not a popular virtue. Very often when I talk to religious people, and mention how important it is that compassion is the key, that it’s the sine-qua-non of religion, people look kind of balked, and stubborn sometimes, as much to say, what’s the point of having religion if you can’t disapprove of other people?"― Karen Armstrong
- "A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country."― E. W. Howe
- "Hobbies of any kind are boring except to people who have the same hobby. This is also true of religion, although you will not find me saying so in print."― Dave Barry
