Sir Richard Francis Burton

Showing quotations 1 to 4 of 4 total All Faith is false, all Faith is true:
Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes

Sir Richard Francis BurtonThe more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself. Sir Richard Francis Burton

That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
