"The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying." ― Norman Douglas Topic(s): Religion More From Norman Douglas "A man can believe a considerable deal of rubbish, and yet go about his daily work in a rational and cheerful manner." "What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes?" "There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide." More In Religion "People here argue about religion interminably, but it appears that they are competing at the same time to see who can be the least devout."― Charles de Secondat "Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness."― Hannah More "Plenty of people are raised Catholic and then aren’t Catholic anymore, like any religion."― Danny Masterson
