The shadow cloaked from head to foot,
Who keeps the keys of all the creeds. [ Tennyson ]

Narrow creeds of right and wrong, which fade
Before the unmeasured thirst for good. [ Robert Browning ]

Men and women existed before creeds; love is the only religion. [ Mrs. Campbell Praed ]

Science corrects the old creeds ... and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

The narrow sectarian cannot read astronomy with impunity. The creeds of his church shrivel like dried leaves at the door of the observatory. [ Emerson ]

No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but certainly not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following openly-declared purposes, and preaching candidly-beloved and trusted creeds. [ John Ruskin ]
