The religions we call false were once true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have not been able to find a single useful institution which has not been founded either by an intensely religious man or by the son of a praying father or a praying mother. I have made the statement before the chambers of commerce of all the largest cities of the country and have asked them to bring forward a case that is an exception to this rule. Thus far I have not heard of a single one.
Roger Ward Babson

Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes and wishes he was certain.
Mark Twain

Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea and yet he will be making gods by dozens. different translation Man is certainly crazy. He could not make a mite and he makes gods by the dozen.
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

There is not even enough religion in the world to destroy the worlds religions.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Religion is the last refuge of human savagery.

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.

Carl Gustav Jung

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able toperceive with our frail and feeble mind. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power which is revealed in the incomprehensible Universe forms my idea of God.

Dear Sidqi Bhai Saheb,

I may not agree with every single quote but you have posted something very interesting.

All these quotes sound authentic, yet, could you please give us the source if possible?

Mohammed Rafi · Post by **Mohammed Rafi** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:04 pm

Quotes are all good to be read and enjoyed. They should not be confused with Divine guidance. It is better to keep a straight mind and clean intellect and lead a life without confusions and in conformity with values. I feel that ultimately rituals will lose their value and will take the back seat and that will be the day when bearded Mullahs will be on the run.

Thank you, Sidqi Bhai Saheb!

Brother Rafi is right as well - in my words - we must use discretion here.

â€œQuotesâ€ are product of combination of few words, just for the sake of its resulted meaning.

Not so..Not with these thinkers.

I think every intellectual person has a flight of mind in the light of his life, belief, religion and observations. He has a right to do so. It is not necessary that others will also agree.

Human society have evolved around this freedom.

Sir,

Isnâ€™t this flight of mind without the light of â€œImanâ€ is conjecture at its best and gibberish at its worst? :)

Respected brother,

All kinds of people and minds live in the world and the Clement Allah feeds them without discrimination.

This refers to Mr. Khan's post.

There can be two flights of human mind. One is from hope to hope and the other can take us anywhere. Anybody regardless of his background can make the firs flight. I have seen many Iman filled people who can only do kite flying.

Let there be innumerable flight of mind. But Ya Allah let Quran always remains the string for my flight of â€œkiteâ€ (mind / life)!!
