Quotations
Religion
Religions grow when religious leaders die.
-J. Krishnamurti
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
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
-Scriptures "Samayasara, 153"
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
God has no religion.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
-Dwight Lyman Moody
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
