Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes

Neutrality is generally used as a mask to hide unusual bitterness. Sometimes it hides what it is - nothing. It always stands for hollowness of head or bitterness of heart, sometimes for both Picture Quote #1

Homes make patriots. He who has sat by his own fireside with wife and children will defend it. Few men have been patriotic enough to shoulder a musket in defense of a boarding house. The prosperity and glory of our country depend upon the number of people who are the owners of homes Picture Quote #1

I believe that there is something far nobler than loyalty to any particular man. Loyalty to the truth as we perceive it - loyalty to our duty as we know it - loyalty to the ideals of our brain and heart - is, to my mind, far greater and far nobler than loyalty to the life of any particular man or God. . . Picture Quote #1

When every church becomes a school, every cathedral a university, every clergyman a teacher, and all their hearers brave and honest thinkers, then - and not until then - will the dream of poet, patriot, philanthropist and philosopher become a real and blessed truth Picture Quote #1

It is impossible for me to conceive of a character more utterly detestable than that of the Hebrew God Picture Quote #1

In the grave should be buried the prejudices and passions born of conflict. Charity should hold the scales in which are weighed the deeds of men Picture Quote #1

No system of religion should go in partnership with barbarism. Neither should any Christian feel it his duty to defend the savagery of the past Picture Quote #1

Our fathers founded the first secular government that was ever founded in this world. Recollect that. The first secular government - the first government that said every church has exactly the same rights and no more; every religion has the same rights, and no more Picture Quote #1

This great question of predestination and free will, of free moral agency and accountability, and being saved by the grace of God, and damned for the glory of God, have occupied the mind of what we call the civilized world for many centuries Picture Quote #1

I can imagine no sweeter way to end one’s life than in the quiet of the country, out of the mad race for money, place and power - far from the demands of business - out of the dusty highway where fools struggle and strive for the hollow praise of other fools Picture Quote #1

A great man is a torch in the darkness, a beacon in superstition’s night, an inspiration and a prophecy Picture Quote #1

Character is made of duty and love and sympathy, and, above all, of living and working for others Picture Quote #1

If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish Picture Quote #1

There is a quiet about the life of a farmer, and the hope of a serene old age, that no other business or profession can promise Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Fear, prejudice, malice, and the love of approbation bribe a thousand men where gold bribes one Picture Quote #1

He who refuses to stoop, who cannot be bribed by the promise of success or the fear of failure - who walks the highway of the right, and in disaster stands erect, is the only victor Picture Quote #1

If there is any God, there is only one way to please him, and that is by a conscientious discharge of your obligations to your fellow men Picture Quote #1

If there be gods we cannot help them, but we can assist our fellow men. We cannot love the inconceivable, but we can love wife and child and friend Picture Quote #1

Voltaire lighted a torch and gave to others the sacred flame. The light still shines and will as long as man loves liberty and seeks for truth Picture Quote #1

Taste and love are not the servants of the will. Love is and must be free. It rises from the heart like perfume from a flower Picture Quote #1

I believe in the religion of reason -- the gospel of this world; in the development of the mind, in the accumulation of intellectual wealth, to the end that man may free himself from superstitious fear, to the end that he may take advantage of the forces of nature to feed and clothe the world Picture Quote #1

If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn’t pay Smith Picture Quote #1
