Make no man your idol; for the best man must have faults, and his faults will usually become yours in addition to your own. This is as true in art as in morals. - Washington Allston This idol gold can boast of two peculiarities: it is worshipped in all climates without a single temple, and by all classes without a single hypocrite. - Charles Caleb Colton It is not he who forms idols in gold or marble that makes them gods, but he who kneels before them. - Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis) God will put up with a great many things in the human heart, but there is one thing that He will not put up with in it--a second place. He who offers God a second place, offers Him no place. - John Ruskin 'Tis mad idolatry, To make the service greater than the god. - William Shakespeare Idolatry is certainly the first-born of folly, the great and leading paradox; nay, the very abridgment and sum total of all absurdities. - Bishop Robert South Philosophers and common heathen believed one God, to whom all things were referred; but under this God they worshipped many inferior and subservient gods. - Benjamin Stillingfleet
