Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll
I am not so much for the freedom of religion as I am for the religion of freedom.
Robert Green Ingersoll
If we should put god in the Constitution there would be no room left for man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It is hard to overstate the debt we owe to the men and women of genius.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Even in the business of corporations honesty is the best policy, and the companies that have acted in accordance with the highest standard, other things being equal, have reaped the richest harvest.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Every pulpit is a pillory, in which stands a hired culprit, defending the justice of his own imprisonment.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.
Robert Green Ingersoll
