Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “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.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)

    “There is nothing in our book, the Koran, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That’s a good religion.”
    —Malcolm X (1925–1965)
