Superstition is great enemy of man but bigotry is worse  Swami Vivekananda    Be strong, get beyond all superstitions, and be free  Swami Vivekananda    Be not superstitious. Believe not in Omens, Portents, Charms, Talismens, lucky and unlucky days and numbers.  Zarathushtra    The stars and planets and constellations decide not one's fate  Zarathushtra    It is the one test, that truth must make you strong and put you above  superstition  Swami Vivekananda    Superstition is based on baseless fear, and is the irrational interpretation of life by the savage mind  Zarathushtra    Superstition is born of ignorance and fear, and thrives the most when reason is asleep  Zarathushtra    The duty of a philosopher is to raise you above superstitions  Swami Vivekananda    Superstition encrusts religion with primitive beliefs of infant humanity, and profanes its pristine purity  Zarathushtra    I would rather see every one of you rank atheists than superstitious fools, for the atheist is alive and you can make something out of him. But if superstition enters, the brain is gone, the brain is softening, degradation has seized upon the life  Swami Vivekananda    Mystery mongering and superstition are always signs of weakness  Swami Vivekananda
