Robert Green Ingersoll
And why does this same God tell me how to raise my children when he had to drown his?
Robert Green Ingersoll
He [The Improved Man] will enjoy not only the sunshine of life, but will bear with fortitude the darkest days. He will have no fear of death. About the grave, there will be no terrors, and his life will end as serenely as the sun rises.
Robert Green Ingersoll

There will never be a generation of great men until there has been a generation of free women - of free mothers.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll
Religion supports nobody. It has to be supported. It produces no wheat, no corn it ploughs no land it fells no forests. It is a perpetual mendicant. It lives on the labors of others, and then has the arrogance to pretend that it supports the giver.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I found that the clergy did not understand their own book.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Commerce is the great civilizer.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I am not so much for the freedom of religion as I am for the religion of freedom.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Christianity has made more lunatics than it ever provided asylums for.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I am going to put the Bible out of business.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Whoever saw an angel barefooted?
Robert Green Ingersoll
Nothing could be more dangerous to the existence of this Republic than to introduce religion into politics
Robert Green Ingersoll
Commerce is the great civilizer. We exchange ideas when we exchange fabrics.
Robert Green Ingersoll
If all the historic books of the Bible were blotted from the memory of mankind, nothing of value would be lost.
Robert Green Ingersoll
