Religion

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
Religion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Religion

1.
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance.
Hubbard, Elbert

2.
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

3.
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

4.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

5.
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

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

8.
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

9.
The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Matthew Arnold

10.
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
Pascal, Blaise

11.
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.

12.
Religion is love; in no case is it logic.
Webb, Beatrice Potter

13.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

14.
Never confuse the faith with the supposedly faithful.
Randy K. Milholland

15.
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg

16.
I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.
Ian McKellen

17.
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.

18.
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

19.
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
Bierce, Ambrose

20.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

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

23.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Arnold, Matthew

24.
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

25.
Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people.
Doris Egan

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
Jane Austen

31.
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

32.
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

33.
I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.
Hope, Bob

34.
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

35.
When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
Kraus, Karl

36.
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

37.
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

38.
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of story-tellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
Shaw, George Bernard

39.
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.
Lafollette, Suzanne

40.
Religion is a temper, not a pursuit.
Martineau, Harriet

41.
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Abraham Lincoln

42.
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Marx, Karl

48.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

49.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde

50.
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists.
Maistre, Joseph De
