Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Quotations
Religion
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
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
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.
-Charles H. Spurgeon
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
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
