[French Revolution rejected] the sacred foundation both of history and of the state. History was no longer measured on the basis of an idea of God that had preceded it and given it shape. The state came to be understood in purely secular terms, based on rationalism and the will of citizens.
The secular state arose for the first time, abandoning and excluding any divine guarantee or legitimation of the political element as a mythological vision of the world and declaring that God is a private question that does not belong to the public sphere or to the democratic formation of the public will. Public life was now considered the realm of reason alone, which had no place for a seemingly unknowable God. From this perspective, religion and faith in God belonged to the realm of sentiment, not of reason. God and His will therefore ceased to be relevant to public life. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Secular State quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
The conception of secular state is derived from the liberal democratic tradition of west. No institution which is maintained wholly out of state funds shall be used for the purpose of religious instruction irrespective of the question whether the religious instruction is given by the state or any other body. ~ B.R. Ambedkar
Secular State quotes by B.R. Ambedkar
THE VIOLENCE OF early modernity was expressed nowhere more purely or on a grander scale than in the international and internecine conflicts of the period, which custom dictates should be called "the wars of religion." Given, though, the lines of coalition that defined these conflicts, and given their ultimate consequences, they ought really to be remembered as the first wars of the modern nation-state, whose principal purpose was to establish the supremacy of secular state authority over every rival power, most especially the power of the church. ~ David Bentley Hart
Secular State quotes by David Bentley Hart
The secular state is the guarantee of religious pluralism. This apparent paradox, again, is the simplest and most elegant of political truths. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Secular State quotes by Christopher Hitchens
We struggled to understand how a contract with the so-called secular state could mandate some kind of spiritual ritual. ~ Maggie Nelson
Secular State quotes by Maggie Nelson
The common understanding among Muslims, no doubt indoctrinated by Western notions, is that a secular state is a state that is not governed by the 'ulama', or whose legal system is not established upon the revealed law. In other words it is not a theocratic state. But this setting in contrast the secular state with the theocratic state is not really an Islamic way of understanding the matter, for since Islam does not involve itself in the dichotomy between the sacred and the profane, how then can it set in contrast the theocratic state with the secular state? ~ Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
Secular State quotes by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
It is always easier to believe if you are opposed to something, or actually suffering for your beliefs. Without perceived or real oppression rebellion tends to fizzle – this is our current slack secular state in the West. ~ Peter Grey
Secular State quotes by Peter Grey
In Britain, we are not a secular state as France is, or some other countries. ~ Gordon Brown
Secular State quotes by Gordon Brown
I believe in freedom, I'm for a world without borders. But that's an ideal. On a practical level, I'm for a secular state where religion only plays a minor role. ~ Shahin Najafi
Secular State quotes by Shahin Najafi
The Catholic Church built and ran hospitals, schools, and centres for the poor and unemployed generations before the secular state became involved, and even today a visit to almost any main street in the Western world or to a village or town in the developing world will show Catholic charities and outreach organizations operating in what are often the most challenging of conditions. ~ Michael Coren
Secular State quotes by Michael Coren
With our goddess, the Pachamama, and it is not possible to continue having a monopoly of religious faith, only Catholic. We have therefore adopted the new constitution as a secular state where all religious beliefs will be respected. ~ Evo Morales
Secular State quotes by Evo Morales
No secular state ever existed and none would exist until the end of the French Revolution, and so we understand that America was built on the Judeo-Christian ethic and we believe that this nominee is going to see to it that those truths are upheld. ~ Rod Parsley
Secular State quotes by Rod Parsley
Sergeant Aye. But when the fuck are any ay you lot ever again, in your whole fucking life, gonnay get the fucking chance tay write off a two-million-quid, state-ay-the-art piece ay kit? ~ Gregory Burke
Secular State quotes by Gregory Burke
I have come to believe that contentment is a virtue we can aspire to rather than a state we can achieve. ~ Dave Bruno
Secular State quotes by Dave Bruno
The one who becomes free from all kinds of beggary is bestowed the state of a 'Gnani' [the enlightened one]. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Secular State quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Perhaps that is what I like about these moments of leisurely insight, that come while lying comfortably in the beautiful in-between state of sleeping and waking, dreaming and doing, in which anything is possible and everything is lovely. ~ Kayla Severson
Secular State quotes by Kayla Severson
The State is only one of the forms assumed by society in the course of history. Why then make no distinction between what is permanent and what is accidental? ~ Peter Kropotkin
Secular State quotes by Peter Kropotkin
Worship is much more than just singing songs. In fact, true worship is first and foremost a condition of heart and a state of mind. We can be worshipping passionately without singing a single note. Worship is born in our hearts; it fills our thoughts and then it is expressed through our mouths and through our bodies. If our hearts are filled with awe for God, we may want to sing, dance, clap, or lift up our hands in worship. We may also be reverently silent and still before God. We may desire to give offerings or offer other forms of outward expression of love for God. But any of these actions done without a right heart are simply formalism and meaningless to God. ~ Joyce Meyer
Secular State quotes by Joyce Meyer
Have you ever made her angry?" If the cop said that he and his wife lived in a state of constant connubial bliss, Andrew decided he'd have full cause to throw a punch.
Max raised an eyebrow. "Sure, I'm human." He slid the phone into the pocket of his suit pants and rose to his feet with a distinctly amused glint in his eyes. "Making up is the fun part, in case you haven't figured that out yet. ~ Nalini Singh
Secular State quotes by Nalini Singh
Compassion, however, should mean providing a mechanism to escape poverty rather than simply maintaining people in an impoverished state by supplying handouts. By doing this we give them an opportunity to elevate their personal situations, which eventually decreases our need to take care of them and empowers them to be able to exercise compassion toward others. ~ Ben Carson
Secular State quotes by Ben Carson
Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality. ~ Billy Graham
Secular State quotes by Billy Graham
His heart lifted to a state approaching something like happiness, however, when he heard, unexpectedly, the sound of Rhea's low sweet voice humming gently to herself as she came up the slope towards the mountaintop. Loveliest sister and dearest wife! It was quite natural that she had been a little upset by his consumption of their six children, but she surely understood that he had had no choice. She was a Titan, she knew about duty and destiny. ~ Stephen Fry
Secular State quotes by Stephen Fry
We fail to move beyond what is safe, we abandon our dreams in favor of what is sure rather than strive for what is best for us. ~ Joan D. Chittister
Secular State quotes by Joan D. Chittister
We in the West think of peace as society's default position. War is a temporary state of affairs that happens when peace fails. For us, war is something that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. When it is over, win or lose, the warring factions lay down their arms and resume their normal lives. ~ Kathleen Troia McFarland
Secular State quotes by Kathleen Troia McFarland
One can never "fall" in love, you must rise to it's level of consciousness. Love is not a feeling, it's a state of MIND! ~ T.C. Carrier
Secular State quotes by T.C. Carrier
Wonderful teachers should never let themselves be drill sergeants for the state. ~ Jonathan Kozol
Secular State quotes by Jonathan Kozol
The state of relaxation of the mouth and jaw is directly correlated to the ability of the cervix, the vagina, and the anus to open to full capacity. ~ Ina May Gaskin
Secular State quotes by Ina May Gaskin
Love is just a word we use to describe what boils down to a selfish and temporary state of happiness. ~ Sara Zarr
Secular State quotes by Sara Zarr
Shut your eyes, wait, think of nothing. Now, open them ... one sees nothing but a great coloured undulation. What then? An irradiation and glory of colour. This is what a picture should give us ... an abyss in which the eye is lost, a secret germination, a coloured state of grace ... loose conciousness. Descend with the painter into the dim tangled roots of things, and rise again from them in colours, be steeped in the light of them. ~ Paul Cezanne
Secular State quotes by Paul Cezanne
I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution. But for that, circumstances have to change. ~ Benjamin Netanyahu
Secular State quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu
If colleges wanted to admit only legacies, or only tuba players, or only people who got astonishingly low SAT scores ' to ensure some of their graduates would be U.S. senators one day ' the Constitution wouldn't stop them. What the states, including state colleges, cannot do under the Constitution is discriminate on the basis of race. ~ Ann Coulter
Secular State quotes by Ann Coulter
If our souls be immortal, this makes amends for the frailties of life and the sufferings of this state. ~ John Tillotson
Secular State quotes by John Tillotson
We have a long tradition in this state of caring for our neighbors - it is truly an Iowa value. ~ Thomas Vilsack
Secular State quotes by Thomas Vilsack
These stupid biases and discrimination are the reason our country is so screwed up. It's Tamil first, Indian later. Punjabi first, Indian later. It has to end. National anthem, national currency, national teams - still, we won't marry our children outside our state. How can this intolerance be good for our country? ~ Chetan Bhagat
Secular State quotes by Chetan Bhagat
During the current period of health care development in our country, improvement of the management quality is becoming increasingly important. This is due to many processes, including new ones, such as increase in the number of financial resources used to implement the state guarantees program, the need for more efficient spending of funds, rearrangement of cash flows, single-channel financing ~ Veronika Skvortsova
Secular State quotes by Veronika Skvortsova
For more than a century, states have sought to protect the integrity of the democratic process at the state and local level by regulating corporate spending in elections. ~ Eric Schneiderman
Secular State quotes by Eric Schneiderman
I am a very instinctive Conservative. I have created a welfare system where it pays to work. I have created independent schools within the state sector bringing excellence to children wherever they are. ~ David Cameron
Secular State quotes by David Cameron
This is trash state U.S.A. ~ Tim Dorsey
Secular State quotes by Tim Dorsey
And yet when i finally drifted of in that barely conscious state where logic was absent and dreams encroached i could almost hear bone's voice. he was whispering that same promise he'd made to me months ago when our relationship started and i wondered if it was a sign - and if he'd really meant it. If you run from me i'll chase you. And i'll find you ... ~ Jeaniene Frost
Secular State quotes by Jeaniene Frost
Being blonde is definitely a different state of mind. I can't really put my finger on it, but the artifice of being blonde has some incredible sort of sexual connotation. Men really respond to it. I love blonde hair but it really does something different to you. I feel more grounded when I have dark hair, and I feel more ethereal when I have light hair. It's unexplainable. I also feel more Italian when my hair is dark. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Secular State quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Forget the state concerns
we think this is bad for churches. Most churches are small and not ready to handle 500 pages of government red tape. ~ Michael Tanner
Secular State quotes by Michael Tanner
'Do you think that we shall ever be admitted as a State into the Union without denying the principle of polygamy?' If we are not admitted until then, we shall never be admitted. ~ Brigham Young
Secular State quotes by Brigham Young
I know, indeed, and can conceive of no pursuit so antagonistic to the cultivation of the oratorical faculty ... as the study of Mathematics. An eloquent mathematician must, from the nature of things, ever remain as rare a phenomenon as a talking fish, and it is certain that the more anyone gives himself up to the study of oratorical effect the less will he find himself in a fit state to mathematicize. ~ James Joseph Sylvester
Secular State quotes by James Joseph Sylvester
There was no one clear point of loss. It happened over and over again in a thousand small ways and the only truth there was to learn was that there was no getting used to it. ~ Ann Patchett
Secular State quotes by Ann Patchett
If my tone is mocking, the tone of someone accustomed to helplessness, this is natural: the poet is a condemned man for whom the State will not even buy breakfast and as someone said, If you're going to hang me, you mustn't expect to be able to intimidate me into sparing your feelings during the execution. ~ Randall Jarrell
Secular State quotes by Randall Jarrell
There are also many instances where people hostile to the Soviet state are attempting by means of deceit and provocation to poison the minds of our citizens and compel them to believe in monstrous lies. ~ Filipp Golikov
Secular State quotes by Filipp Golikov
Taste is not stationary. It grows every day, and is improved by cultivation, as a good temper is refined by religion. In its most advanced state it takes the title of judgment. Hume quotes Fontenelle's ingenious distinction between the common watch that tells the hours, and the delicately constructed one that marks the seconds and smallest differences of time. ~ Robert Aris Willmott
Secular State quotes by Robert Aris Willmott
Peace should provide security. It should be durable. I'm ready to go far in making painful concessions. But there is one thing I will never make any concessions on and that's the security of the Israeli citizens and the very existence of the state of Israel. The Palestinians are losing time. ~ Ariel Sharon
Secular State quotes by Ariel Sharon
Technology determines the possibilities of society. It doesn't matter whether you start out from a fascist state or a communist state or a free-market state. ~ Iain Banks
Secular State quotes by Iain Banks
