Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.

Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.
And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.
-Leo Tolstoy
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price for our right to live.
-Rabindranath Tagore
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?
-John Steinbeck
