Quotes by John Leland (?)

“Some men think more than they read. Others read more than they think. Those who practice both, grow wise. Those who follow neither, remain ignorant.”
― John Leland (1754-1841)

“The subject of religious liberty, has been so canvassed for fourteen years, and has so far prevailed, that in Virginia, a politician can no more be popular, without the possession of it, than a preacher who denies the doctrine of the new birth; yet many, who make this profession, behave in their families, as if they did not believe what they profess. For a man to contend for religious liberty on the court-house green, and deny his wife, children and servants, the liberty of conscience at home, is a paradox not easily reconciled.”
― John Leland (Baptist), The Rights of Conscience Inalienable, and Therefore Religious Opinions Not Cognizable by Law: Or, the High-Flying Church-Man, Stript of His Legal ... a Yaho. by John Leland [One Line from Elihu].

“The fondness of magistrates to foster Christianity, has done it more harm than all the persecutions ever did. Persecution, like a lion, tears the saints to death, but leaves Christianity pure: state establishment of religion, like a bear, hugs the saints, but corrupts Christianity, and reduces it to a level with state policy.”
― John Leland (Baptist)
