We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
Quotations
Religion
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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
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
