More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
If there is a God, there should be no slaves.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to express all that we feel and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into music. Music is the sunshine - the climate - of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect June.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I do not see how it is possible for an intelligent human being to conclude that the Song of Solomon is the work of God, and that the tragedy of Lear was the work of an uninspired man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I have no confidence in any religion that can be demonstrated only to children.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Fear paints pictures of ghosts and hangs them in the gallery of ignorance.
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
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An honest God is the noblest work of man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The few have said, Think! The many have said, Believe! The first doubt was the womb and cradle of progress, and from the first doubt, man has continued to advance.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Music was born of love. Had there never been any human affection, there never could have been uttered a strain of music.
Robert Green Ingersoll
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
Robert Green Ingersoll
They knew that it was necessary to believe these things and to love God. They knew that there could be no salvation except by faith, and through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Burns had his faults, his frailties. He was intensely human. Still, I would rather appear at the Judgment Seat drunk, and be able to say that I was the author of A man's a man for 'a that, than to be perfectly sober and admit that I had lived and died a Scotch Presbyterian.
Robert Green Ingersoll
We are not accountable for the sins of Adam.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Everyone should be taught the nobility of labor, the heroism and splendor of honest effort. As long as it is considered disgraceful to labor, or aristocratic not to labor, the world will be filled with idleness and crime, and with every possible moral deformity.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An infinite personality is an infinite impossibility.
Robert Green Ingersoll
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
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
You see, after all, few rich men own their property. The property owns them.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Every sect is a certificate that God has not plainly revealed his will to man. To each reader the Bible conveys a different meaning.
