The eye and religion can beare no jesting.
George Herbert

There is no jesting with edge tools.
John Fletcher
I think nothing is religion which puts one individual absolutely above others, and surely nothing is religion which puts one sex above another. Religion is primarily our relation to the Supreme, to God himself. It is for him to judge; it is for him to say where we belong, who is highest and who is not; of that we know nothing. And any religion which will sacrifice a certain set of human beings for the enjoyment or aggrandizement or advantage of another is no religion. It is a thing which may be allowed, but it is against true religion. Any religion which sacrifices women to the brutality of men is no religion.
Julia Ward Howe
Jesting and levity lead a man to lewdness.
Akiba ben Joseph
What is truth? said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
Leave jesting while it pleaseth, lest it turne to earnest.
