Quotations
Religion
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
- Robert G. Ingersoll
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
- A Spiritual Leader
Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.
- Steve Maraboli
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
- Scriptures
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
- Ray Bradbury
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
- Thomas Jefferson
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
- Robert G. Ingersoll
