More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Every man who expresses an honest thought is a soldier in the army of intellectual liberty.
Robert Green Ingersoll
You cannot be so poor that you cannot help somebody.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The ministers, who preached at these revivals, were in earnest. They were zealous and sincere. They were not philosophers. To them science was the name of a vague dread - a dangerous enemy. They did not know much, but they believed a great deal.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Christianity has made more lunatics than it ever provided asylums for.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Is there an intelligent man or woman now in the world who believes in the Garden of Eden story? If you find any man who believes it, strike his forehead and you will hear an echo. Something is for rent.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll
Music expresses feeling and thought, without language it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.
Robert Green Ingersoll
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
I am going to put the Bible out of business.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An infinite God ought to be able to protect Himself, without going in partnership with State Legislatures.
Robert Green Ingersoll
All religions are inconsistent with mental freedom. Shakespeare is my bible, Burns my hymn-book.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The triumph of justice is the only peace.
Robert Green Ingersoll
He who commends the brutalities of the past, sows the seeds of future crimes.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It is labor that has made the world a fit habitation for the human race.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Secularism is a religion, a religion that is understood. It has no mysteries, no mumblings, no priests, no ceremonies, no falsehoods, no miracles, and no persecutions.
Robert Green Ingersoll
