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.

Quotations
Religion
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
