Religious

"Our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions any more than our opinions in physics or geometry."

"No, you can't deny women their basic rights and pretend it's about your 'religious freedom'. If you don't like birth control, don't use it. Religious freedom doesn't mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs."

"I don't pray so that I can change God. I pray so that God can change me."

"O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort."

"In such a fearful world, we need a fearless church."

"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."
