Religion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Religion

1.
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

2.
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.
George Burns

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Arnold, Matthew

7.
To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
Inge, Dean William R.

8.
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

9.
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance.
Hubbard, Elbert

10.
Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.
Tillich, Paul

11.
Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.
Lewis, C. S.

12.
Religion enables us to ignore nothingness and get on with the jobs of life.
Updike, John

13.
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

14.
Religions are the cradles of despotism.
Sade, Marquis De

15.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

16.
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
Albert Einstein

17.
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg

18.
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

19.
And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

20.
Religion is a temper, not a pursuit.
Martineau, Harriet

21.
For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

22.
Never confuse the faith with the supposedly faithful.
Randy K. Milholland

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

24.
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
Gurdjieff, George

25.
A maker of idols is never an idolater.
Proverb, Chinese

26.
Those who seek consolation in existing churches often pay for their peace of mind with a tacit agreement to ignore a great deal of what is known about the way the world works.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

27.
Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim.

28.
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

29.
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

30.
My religion? Well, my dear, I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.
Shaw, George Bernard

31.
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

32.
Such evil deeds could religion prompt.
Lucretius

33.
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

34.
I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.
Hope, Bob

35.
A church is disaffected when it is persecuted, quiet when it is tolerated, and actively loyal when it is favored and cherished.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

36.
Religion is love; in no case is it logic.
Webb, Beatrice Potter

37.
There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.
James, William

38.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

39.
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.

40.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

41.
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

42.
Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.
Stella Terrill Mann

43.
Toleration is the best religion.
Hugo, Victor

44.
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

45.
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

46.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Steven Weinberg

47.
All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organization. For the latter makes use of violence, the former -- of the corruption of the will.
Herzen, Alexander

48.
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

49.
I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- except he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.
Twain, Mark

50.
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
