And so about many other things of the same nature, we are trying to make people believe these things, and we make creeds of them; and thus we continue to do our own will, which is the ground of all sin.
Elias Hicks
Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.
Mahatma Gandhi
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Believe me, than in half the creeds.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Creeds and castes, and all forms of intellectual and emotional grouping, belong to the past.
Herbert Read
Creeds made in Dark Ages are like drawings made in dark rooms.
Joseph McCabe
From the death of the old the new proceeds, and the life of truth from the death of creeds.
John Greenleaf Whittier
I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
Ansel Adams
No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
John Ruskin
One and all, the orthodox creeds are crumbling into ruins everywhere.
John Fiske
Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.
Lord Acton
Scriptures and creeds may come to seem incredible, but faith will still go dancing on.
Sydney Carter
So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The doubt of an earnest, thoughtful, patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.
John Lancaster Spalding
The hired preachers of all sects, creeds, and religions, never do, and never can, teach any thing but what is in conformity with the opinions of those who pay them.
Francis Wright
The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.
Walter Bagehot
The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.
Alice Paul
There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
We are living at a time when creeds and ideologies vary and clash. But the gospel of human sympathy is universal and eternal.
