When religion and royalty are destroyed the people will attack the nobles; after the nobles, the rich.
Honor de Balzac
At that period, everybody in the Roman Empire had some kind of religion, but nobody bothered much about it. Just like today. ...Although Romans had plenty of gods, in reality they believed in none.
Wilhelm Busch
All religions are human attempts to find God. But they all have this in common: they have all gone astray in the fog and have not been able to discover God.
Wilhelm Busch
In other searchings it might be the object of the quest that brought satisfaction, or it might be something incidental that one got on the way; but in religion, desire was fulfilment, it was the seeking itself that rewarded.
Willa Sibert Cather
Art and religion (they are the same thing, in the end, of course) have given man the only happiness he has ever had.
Willa Sibert Cather
Religion makes them crazy. Not a woman I ever met wasnt crazy with religion.
Orson Scott Card
Men are moved most by their religion; especially when it is irreligion.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
A true spiritual seeker will have the deepest respect and utmost reverence for all religions. We can treasure all religions and claim them as our very own.
Sri Chinmoy
We do not destroy religion by destroying superstition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Judaism reognized the home as being a co-partner with the synagogue in the nurturing of spirituality, and accorded the woman, as primary home-maker, the greatest consideration.
Jeffrey Cohen
Men will wrangle for religion, write for it, fight for it, die for it; anything but live for it.
Charles Caleb Colton
At the center of religion is love. I love you and I forgive you. I am like you and you are like me. I love all people. I love the world. I love creating. Everything in our life should be based on love.
Ray Douglas Bradbury
In the same breath, one might add that the atheist is surely as religious as the Christian, in that he has adopted a set of beliefs to which he chooses to rigorously adhere. While its temptingly clever to make that claim, it is a nonsensical statement; no more logical than to say that a Christian is a type of atheist. Having a set of beliefs about religion is not the same as being a religious True Believer.
Derren Victor Brown
One of the best things in the gospel of Jesus is the stress it lays on small things. It ascribes more value to quality than to quantity; it teaches that God does not ask how much we do, but how we do it.
James Freeman Clarke
