Quote DB :: Authors :: Lemuel Washburn :: View Quote View Quote "What a queer thing is Christian salvation! Believing in firemen will not save a burning house; believing in doctors will not make one well, but believing in a savior saves men.

My own mind is my own church." "Where knowledge ends, religion begins." "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." "What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." "With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
