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 恐懼是迷信的主要來源,也是讓人變得殘暴的原因。克服恐懼是智慧的開端。 |
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) 需要運動是現代人的迷信,是由那些吃得太多、無所事事的人想出來的。 |
