If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.

Quotations
Religion
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
-Issac Asimov

-Deep Trivedi
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"

of mentally and intelligently blind people.
-Deep Trivedi
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.

-Christopher Morley
"Inward Ho!"

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
-Bill Maher
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
