More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Darwin has done more to change human thought than all the priests who have existed.
Robert Green Ingersoll
My objection to Christianity is that it is infinitely cruel, infinitely selfish, and, I might add, infinitely absurd.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Let us agree not to step on each other’s feet.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Sacred are the lips from which has issued only truth.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Who can over estimate the progress of the world if all the money wasted in superstition could be used to enlighten, elevate and civilize mankind?
Robert Green Ingersoll
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe when the loving, the tender, east a crust, while the infamous sit at banquets.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I hate above all things a cross man. What right has he to murder the sunshine of a day? What right has he to assassinate the Joy of life? When you go home, you ought to go like a ray of light-so that it will, even in the night, burst out of the doors and windows and illuminate the darkness.
Robert Green Ingersoll
A crime against god is a demonstrated impossibility.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Do not trust those in whom the compulsion to punish is strong.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Do right, not to deny yourself but because you love yourself and because you love others.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It cannot be too often repeated, that truth scorns the assistance of miracle.
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
Liberty a word without which all other words are vain.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Only a few years ago there was no person too ignorant to successfully answer Charles Darwin and the more ignorant he was the more cheerfully he undertook the task.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An infinite personality is an infinite impossibility.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It is better to deserve without receiving than to receive without deserving
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 am going to put the Bible out of business.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An infinite God ought to be able to protect Himself, without going in partnership with State Legislatures.
Robert Green Ingersoll
