Constitutional Constellation

“If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.”
--Robert H. Jackson

My Happiness

“Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
--Thomas Paine

A Civilization's Soul

“The soul of a civilization is its religion, and it dies with its faith.”
--Will Durant

Religious Fascism

“Fascism does not so much aim to govern people as to monopolize the control of their consciences. The possession of power is not enough for fascism: it needs to possess the private conscience of all its citizens, it demands the “conversion” of a country. Fascism makes the same claims as a religion. It does not promise happiness to those who do not convert.” 
--Giovanni Amendola

Regarding Religion

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”
--Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The Art of Living

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”
--Lawrence Pearsall Jacks
