More quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll

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

Robert Green Ingersoll
[T]he blossom of benevolence, of charity, is the fairest flower, no matter whether it blooms by the side of a hovel, or bursts from a vine climbing the marble pillar of a palace. I respect no man because he is rich I hold in contempt no man because he is poor.
Robert Green Ingersoll
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
Robert Green Ingersoll
