Religion

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



Best Quotes about Religion

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim.

4.
When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
Kraus, Karl

5.
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

6.
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

7.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

8.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

9.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

10.
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

11.
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
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

13.
For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.
Hobbes, Thomas

14.
Toleration is the best religion.
Hugo, Victor

15.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Arnold, Matthew

16.
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

17.
I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.
Ian McKellen

18.
Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the rational operation of the intellect.
Freud, Sigmund

19.
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.

20.
For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

21.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

22.
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists.
Maistre, Joseph De

23.
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

24.
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

25.
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.
Einstein, Albert

26.
My religion? Well, my dear, I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.
Shaw, George Bernard

27.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Marx, Karl

31.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

32.
To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
Inge, Dean William R.

33.
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

34.
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

35.
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

36.
I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.
Hope, Bob

37.
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

38.
A maker of idols is never an idolater.
Proverb, Chinese

39.
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

40.
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance.
Hubbard, Elbert

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

45.
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

46.
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Abraham Lincoln

47.
Religions are the cradles of despotism.
Sade, Marquis De

48.
It is certain that if you would have the whole secret of a people, you must enter into the intimacy of their religion.
Quinet, Edgar

49.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

50.
Such evil deeds could religion prompt.
Lucretius
