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
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.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.
- Deep Trivedi
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But

assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
- Deep Trivedi
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
- Deep Trivedi
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
- Deb Caletti
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
- Frank Warren
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Perceiving her son endowed with the characteristics of Vishnu, Devaki prayed: You are the Illuminator of all psycho-physical organisms, the indefinable Reality, which the Vedas declare as the unmanifest cause… When the universe is dissolved by force of Time, the gross elements are ultimately merged in ahankara (their cause)…
- Scriptures
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
- Albert Einstein
