More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud-and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word. But in the night of Death Hope sees a star and listening Love can hear the rustling of a wing.
Robert Green Ingersoll
When a fact can be demonstrated, force is unnecessary when it cannot be demonstrated, force is infamous.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It has always seemed to me that a being coming from another world, with a message of infinite importance to mankind, should at least have verified that message by his own signature. Is it not wonderful that not one word was written by Christ?
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
I am going to put the Bible out of business.
Robert Green Ingersoll
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll
The man who invented the telescope found out more about heaven than the closed eyes of prayer ever discovered.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The emblem of equal rights. It means free hands, free lips, self- government, and the sovereignty of the individual.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The only reason why we wish to exchange thoughts is that we are different. If we were all the same, we would die dumb. No thought would be expressed after we found that our thoughts were precisely alike. We differ-our thoughts are different. Therefore the commerse that we call conversation.
Robert Green Ingersoll
One man in the right will finally get to be a majority.
Robert Green Ingersoll
When passions and appetites are stronger than the intellect, men are savages when the intellect governs the passions, when the passions are servants, men are civilized. The people need education - facts - philosophy.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Hope is the consolation of the world.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Our hope of immortality does not come from any religions, but nearly all religions come from that hope.
Robert Green Ingersoll
If, with all the time at my disposal, with all the wealth of the resources of this vast universe, to do with as I will, I could not produce a better scheme of life than now prevails, I would be ashamed of my efforts and consider my work a humiliating failure.
Robert Green Ingersoll
One laugh of a child will make the holiest day more sacred still.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The present is the necessary product of all the past, the necessary cause of all the future.
Robert Green Ingersoll
