More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
The only evidence, so far as I know, about another life is, first, that we have no evidence and secondly, that we are rather sorry that we have not, and wish we had.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Now the struggle for life is so sharp, competition is so severe, that few men can succeed who carry a useless burden. The businessmen of our country are compelled to lead temperate lives, otherwise their credit is gone.
Robert Green Ingersoll
God so loved the world that he made up his mind to damn a large majority of the human race.
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
Too much doubt is better than too much credulity.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll
I admit that books were voted in and out, and that the Bible was finally formed in accordance with a vote.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I am anxious to give away information, for it is only by giving it away that you can keep it. When you have told it, you remember it. It is with information as it is with liberty, the only way to be dead sure of it is to give it to other people.
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
If we should put god in the Constitution there would be no room left for man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I cannot see why we should expect an infinite God to do better in another world than he does in this.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living tears for the dead.
Robert Green Ingersoll
If we are immortal, it is a fact of nature, and that fact does not depend on bibles, on Christs, priest, or creeds.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Whoever saw an angel barefooted?
Robert Green Ingersoll
All religious systems enslave the mind. Certain things are demanded-certain things must be believed-certain things must be done-and the man who becomes the subject or servant of this superstition must give up all idea of indivuality or hope of intellectual growth or progress.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I have no confidence in any religion that can be demonstrated only to children.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Hope is the consolation of the world.
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
To give up your individuality is to annihilate yourself.
Robert Green Ingersoll
