Quotations
Religion
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
- Deep Trivedi
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
- Stephen Covey
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
- Swami Vivekananda
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
- Thomas Paine
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
- Jasper Fforde
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
