Superstition is not, as has been defined, an excess of religious feeling, but a misdirection of it, an exhausting of it on vanities of man's devising.

Richard Whately

迷信不是如人所云是過於豐富的宗教情操,反而是錯用了,在人們思想的自負、虛榮中耗損了這樣的宗教情操。

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970

The need of exercise is a modern superstition, invented by people who ate too much and had nothing to think about.

George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
