Quotations
Religion
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Seneca the Younger
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
- Deep Trivedi
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
- Avicenna
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
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
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
- Garrison Keillor
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
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
- Dwight Lyman Moody
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
- Deep Trivedi
