QUOTE OF THE DAY

Perceive the difference between religion and the cant of religion; piety
and the pretence of piety; a humble reverence for the great truths of
Scripture and an audacious and offensive obtrusion of its letter and not
its spirit in the commonest dissensions and meanest affairs of life. . .
It is never out of season to protest against that coarse familiarity
with sacred things which is busy on the lip and idle in the heart, or
the confounding of Christianity with any class of persons who. . .  have
just enough religion to make them hate, and not enough to make them
love, one another. - Charles Dickens, Preface to The First Cheap
Edition, The Pickwick Papers, 1847
