Quotations
Religion
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
-José Saramago
"Death with Interruptions"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
-Scriptures "Padma Purana"
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
-Frank Warren
"PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God"
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
-Napoleon Bonaparte "Napoleon Bonaparte"
The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
-George Carlin
