For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.
- Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Religion Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Religion

1.
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

2.
Never confuse the faith with the supposedly faithful.
Randy K. Milholland

3.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

4.
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

5.
A maker of idols is never an idolater.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
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

7.
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
Pascal, Blaise

8.
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance.
Hubbard, Elbert

9.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

10.
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

11.
To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
Inge, Dean William R.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

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

16.
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
Bierce, Ambrose

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Religions are the cradles of despotism.
Sade, Marquis De

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

21.
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

22.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Religion enables us to ignore nothingness and get on with the jobs of life.
Updike, John

26.
When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
Kraus, Karl

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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.

34.
If religion is only human, and its form is man's form, it follows that everything in religion is true.
Chartier, Emile-Auguste

35.
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

36.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

37.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

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

39.
I've often thought the Bible should have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.
Ian McKellen

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Marx, Karl

43.
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

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

45.
Toleration is the best religion.
Hugo, Victor

46.
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

47.
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

48.
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists.
Maistre, Joseph De

49.
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

50.
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
