Religion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Religion

1.
I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.
Hope, Bob

2.
Culture's essential service to a religion is to destroy intellectual idolatry, the recurrent tendency in religion to replace the object of its worship with its present understanding and forms of approach to that object.
Frye, Northrop

3.
The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.
Eric Hoffer

4.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

5.
When the soul drifts uncertainly between life and the dream, between the mind's disorder and the return to cool reflection, it is in religious thought that we should seek consolation.
Nerval, Gerard De

6.
Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people.
Doris Egan

7.
For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

8.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Arnold, Matthew

9.
Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.
Thomas Jefferson

10.
Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.
Feuerbach, Ludwig

11.
It's incongruous that the older we get, the more likely we are to turn in the direction of religion. Less vivid and intense ourselves, closer to the grave, we begin to conceive of ourselves as immortal.
Hoagland, Edward

12.
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Hugo, Victor

13.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

14.
You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.
Huxley, Aldous

15.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

16.
Religion I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give to them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor.
Henry, Patrick

17.
Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.
Russell, Bertrand

18.
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

19.
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.
Lafollette, Suzanne

20.
Such evil deeds could religion prompt.
Lucretius

21.
If religion is only human, and its form is man's form, it follows that everything in religion is true.
Chartier, Emile-Auguste

22.
I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is.
Charles Lamb

23.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde

24.
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas -- uncertainty, progress, change -- into crimes.
Rushdie, Salman

25.
It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.
Radhakrishnan, Sir Sarvepalli

26.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

27.
Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy it's glories.
Young, Brigham

28.
A wise architect observed that you could break the laws of architectural art provided you had mastered them first. That would apply to religion as well as to art. Ignorance of the past does not guarantee freedom from its imperfections.
Niebuhr, Reinhold

29.
Religions are the cradles of despotism.
Sade, Marquis De

30.
The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Matthew Arnold

31.
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg

32.
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
My mom grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Bronx and gave me an invaluable piece of advice for dealing with people in New York - if someoneÆs bugging you just act crazy. IÆve modified her approach somewhat. Public displays of religiosity work just as well as feigning psychosis.
Waiter Rant

34.
The only time anyone's admitted they were a Christian before was when they were busy telling me why they're better than me.
Randy K. Milholland

35.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

36.
The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

37.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

38.
Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
Jane Austen

39.
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance.
Hubbard, Elbert

40.
My religion? Well, my dear, I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.
Shaw, George Bernard

41.
It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.
Jane Austen

42.
I think that the leaf of a tree, the meanest insect on which we trample, are in themselves arguments more conclusive than any which can be adduced that some vast intellect animates Infinity.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

43.
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists.
Maistre, Joseph De

44.
Religion is love; in no case is it logic.
Webb, Beatrice Potter

45.
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
Lawrence, D. H.

46.
A religion, that is, a true religion, must consist of ideas and facts both; not of ideas alone without facts, for then it would be mere Philosophy; -- nor of facts alone without ideas, of which those facts are symbols, or out of which they arise, or upon which they are grounded: for then it would be mere History.
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor

47.
And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

48.
I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.
Ian McKellen

49.
It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
D. H. Lawrence

50.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
Bakunin, Mikhail
