Religion is love; in no case is it logic.
- Webb, Beatrice Potter
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.
And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

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.
But is it not the fact that religion emanates from the nature, from the moral state of the individual? Is it not therefore true that unless the nature be completely exercised, the moral state harmonized, the religion cannot be healthy?
Martineau, Harriet

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

8.
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Abraham Lincoln

9.
Angels dancing on the head of a pin dissolve into nothingness at the bedside of a dying child.
Waiter Rant

10.
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

11.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

12.
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

13.
To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
Inge, Dean William R.

14.
I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.
Ian McKellen

15.
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
Pascal, Blaise

16.
A maker of idols is never an idolater.
Proverb, Chinese

17.
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

18.
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.

19.
My religion? Well, my dear, I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.
Shaw, George Bernard

20.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

21.
Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people.
Doris Egan

22.
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

23.
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg

24.
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

25.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Marx, Karl

26.
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

27.
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.
Lafollette, Suzanne

28.
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

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Arnold, Matthew

32.
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

33.
Such evil deeds could religion prompt.
Lucretius

34.
Never confuse the faith with the supposedly faithful.
Randy K. Milholland

35.
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

36.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

37.
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.

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
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

45.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

46.
Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.
Stella Terrill Mann

47.
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

48.
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

49.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

50.
Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim.
