Quote by Edmund Burke

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the destructive power of indifference towards religion. It suggests that when individuals become indifferent or apathetic towards matters of faith, religion itself suffers a severe blow. Religion is dependent on believers who actively engage with their beliefs, values, and practices. When people display indifference towards religion, it can lead to the erosion of religious communities, weakened devotion, and a decline in religious institutions. Indifference denies religion the emotional and intellectual commitment it requires to thrive and ultimately hampers its vitality and significance.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
