Quotations
Religion
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
- Deep Trivedi
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are

- Deep Trivedi
