IDOLS [ Also see God Gods Idolatry ] Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.       - John Calvin No graven images may be worshipped, except the currency.       - Arthur Hugh Clough, The Latest Decalogue          (l. 3) We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is through a transfer of idolatry.       - Ralph Waldo Emerson Sacred cows make very poor gladiators.       - Nikki Giovanni The idol is the measure of the worshiper.       - James Russell Lowell Idolatry is in a man's own thought, not in the opinion of another.       - John Selden The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood.       - George Bernard Shaw Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
