Believe you can and you're halfway there.
-Theodore Roosevelt
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
I do not see what use a man can be put to, whose word cannot be trusted. How can a wagon be made to go if it has no yoke-bar, or a carriage if it has no collar-bar?
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
I forgive all living beings of the universe, and may all living beings forgive me for my faults. I do not have any animosity towards anybody, and I have friendship for all living beings.
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
