There are treasures in books that all the money in the world cannot buy, but the poorest laborer can have for nothing  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) We can be as honest as we are ignorant.

The larger and the nobler faith in all that is, and is to be, tells us that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest... The dead do not suffer  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Argument cannot be answered with insults. Kindness is strength; anger blows out the lamp of the mind  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) No one can control his own opinion or his own belief. My belief was forced upon me by my surroundings. I am the product of all circumstances that have in any way touched me  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The church hates a thinker precisely for the same reason a robber dislikes a sheriff, or a thief despises the prosecuting witness  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The only evidence, so far as I know, about another life is, first, that we have no evidence; and secondly, that we are rather sorry that we have not, and wish we had  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) A believer is a bird in a cage, a freethinker is an eagle parting the clouds with tireless wing  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet unselfish act is now a perfumed flower  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) This is my creed: Happiness is the only good; reason the only torch; justice the only worship, humanity the only religion, and love the only priest  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) It seems to me that if there is some infinite being who wants us to think alike he would have made us alike  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The myth of hell represents all the meanness, all the revenge, all the selfishness, all the cruelty, all the hatred, all the infamy of which the heart of man is capable  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) By physical liberty I mean the right to do anything which does not interfere with the happiness of another. By intellectual liberty I mean the right to think and the right to think wrong  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Intellectual liberty is the air of the soul, the sunshine of the mind, and without it, the world is a prison, the universe is a dungeon  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Superstition is, always has been, and forever will be, the foe of progress, the enemy of education and the assassin of freedom  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) It may be that ministers really think that their prayers do good, and it may be that frogs imagine that their croaking brings spring  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Eternal punishment must be eternal cruelty, and I do not see how any man, unless he has the brain of an idiot, or the heart of a wild beast, can believe in eternal punishment  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The intellectual advancement of man depends on how often he can exchange an old superstition for a new truth  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The first step is for man to cease to be the slave of man. The second, is to cease to be the slave of the monsters of his own creation, the ghosts and phantoms of the air  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Either God should have written a book to fit my brain, or he should have made my brain to fit his book  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) A man is not moral because he is obedient through fear or ignorance. Morality lives in the realm of perceived obligation  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Not only are we here to protect the public from vicious criminals in the street but also to protect the public from harmful ideas  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The doctrine of eternal punishment is in perfect harmony with the savagery of the men who made the orthodox creeds. It is in harmony with torture, with flaying alive, and with burnings  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) If the money is raised by taxation, then the burden will fall where it ought to fall,... and the rich and stingy will no longer be able to evade the duties of citizenship and of humanity  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Prayer is of no avail. The lightning falls on the just and the unjust in accordance with natural laws  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) The priests of one religion never credit the miracles of another religion. Is this because priests instinctively know priests?  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) I know of no crime that has not been defended by the church, in one form or other. The church is not a pioneer; it accepts a new truth, last of all, and only when denial has become useless  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) Catholicism is contrary to human liberty. Catholicism bases salvation upon belief. Catholicism teaches man to trample his reason under foot. And for that reason it is wrong  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) This, in my judgment, is the highest philosophy: First, do not regret having lost yesterday; second, do not fear that you will lose tomorrow; third, enjoy today  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes) If the reason I give is a good one, you will act upon it. If it is a bad one I cannot make it better by piling epithet upon epithet. There is no logic in abuse; there is no argument in an epithet  (Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes)
