Quotations
Religion
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
-Deep Trivedi
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
-Oscar Wilde
