Religion: A Reservoir of Kindness or Nothing
The world is my country,
all mankind are my brethren,
and to do good is my religion.
- Thomas Paine
We must be ready to learn from one another,
not claiming that we alone possess all truth
and that somehow we have a corner on God.
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
We can never be the better for our religion
if our neighbor is the worse for it.
- Anonymous
Re-examine all that you have been told...
dismiss that which insults your soul.
- Walt Whitman
More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion
than for any other single reason.
That, my friends, that is true perversion.
- Harvey Milk
Religion is a blessing when, and only when,
it provides a focus for a compassionate community
to minister to its members and to the world at large.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
