Quote by Voltaire

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy: the mad daughter of a wise mother


Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy:

Summary

This quote suggests that superstition and astrology are irrational and baseless beliefs in comparison to religion and astronomy, which are founded on wisdom and rational thinking. It likens superstition to a "mad daughter" because it originates from a wise and reasoned source but becomes illogical and irrational over time. It implies that there is a stark contrast between illogical beliefs and science or religious teachings, highlighting the difference between irrationality and wisdom.
