More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
This, in my judgment, is the highest philosophy: First, do not regret having lost yesterday second, do not fear that you will lose tomorrow third, enjoy today.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Liberty is the condition of progress. Without Liberty, there remains only barbarism. Without Liberty, there can be no civilization.
Robert Green Ingersoll
What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
They say: Belief is important. I say: No, actions are important. Judge by deed, not by creed.
Robert Green Ingersoll

The man who finds a truth lights a torch.
Robert Green Ingersoll
One laugh of a child will make the holiest day more sacred still.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The moment you introduce a despotism in the world of thought, you succeed in making hypocrites - and you get in such a position that you never know what your neighbor thinks.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I believe in the gospel of cheerfulness, the gospel of Good Nature the gospel of Good Health. Let us pay some attention to our bodies. Take care of our bodies, and our souls will take care of themselves.
Robert Green Ingersoll
An infinite personality is an infinite impossibility.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Science built the Academy, superstition the Inquisition.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It is grander to think and investigate for yourself than to repeat a creed.
Robert Green Ingersoll
We can be as honest as we are ignorant. If we are, when asked what is beyond the horizon of the known, we must say that we do not know.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The churches have no confidence in each other. Why? Because they are acquainted with each other.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Love your friends and be just to your enemies.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The few took advantage of the ignorant many. They pretended to have received messages from the Unknown. They stood between the helpless multitude and the gods. They were the carriers of flags of truce. At the court of heaven they presented the cause of man, and upon the labor of the deceived they lived.
Robert Green Ingersoll
