“The root of almost every schism and heresy from which the Christian Church has suffered, has been because of the effort of men to earn, rather than receive their salvation; and the reason preaching is so commonly ineffective is, that it often calls on people to work for God rather than letting God work through them.”
John Ruskin
“There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.”
James Joyce
“It is a Christian heresy, and church fathers spent years dealing with this stuff.”
Peter Jones
“Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin ? to say that you are weak, or others are weak.”
Swami Vivekananda
“Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin”
Robert Green Ingersoll
“Children are born optimists and we slowly educate them out of their heresy”
Louise Imogen Guiney
“Heresy is what the minority believe, it is the real name given by the powerful to the doctrine of the weak”
