The best, and quite frankly by far the easiest way, to review a book of quotations, is by listing some of my particular favourite and pithy pearls of wisdom. So here goes…“Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.”

“Morality is doing what is right no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.”

“Only sheep need a shepherd”

“Why be born again, when you can just grow up.”

“Faith is the fatigue resulting from the attempt to preserve God’s integrity instead of one’s own.”
Matt Berry
“A soul? Give my watch to a savage, and he will think it has a soul.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
“The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn’t have that rule when Jesus was born.”
Elayne Boosler
“Not one man in ten thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Where knowledge ends, religion begins.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.”
Jules Feiffer
“The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason.”
Benjamin Franklin
“I don’t see any god up here.”
Yuri Gagarin
“It is possible to pull out justification for imposing your will on others, simply by calling your will Gods will.”
Ruth Hurmence Green
“I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so.”
Adolf Hitler
“Skepticism is the highest duty and blind faith the one unpardonable sin.”
Thomas Henry Huxley
“The splendour of human life, I feel sure is greater for those who are not dazzled by the divine radiance.”
Bertrand Russell
I could just keep going, no really, it’s just a matter of copying them from the book, but I would be doing the compiler of this fine source of wit an injustice. Get the book instead, every coffee table should have one.
