Robert Green Ingersoll
Christianity has made more lunatics than it ever provided asylums for.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The more false we destroy, the more room there will be for the true.

Robert Green Ingersoll
The closer I'm bound in love to you, the closer I am to free.
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

Robert Green Ingersoll
The whip degrades a severe father teaches his children to dissemble their love is pretense, and their obedience a species of self-defense. Fear is the father of lies.
Robert Green Ingersoll
The most important thing in this world is liberty. More important than food or clothes - more important than gold or houses or lands - more important than art or science - more important than all religions, is the liberty of man.
Robert Green Ingersoll
If there is one subject in this world worthy of being discussed, worthy of being understood, it is the question of intellectual liberty. Without that, we are simply painted clay.
Robert Green Ingersoll
One laugh of a child will make the holiest day more sacred still.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It cannot be too often repeated, that truth scorns the assistance of miracle.
Robert Green Ingersoll
