Quotations
Religion
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
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
- Voltaire
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
- Thomas Paine
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
- J. Krishnamurti
