Robert Green Ingersoll

“I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot.”

“In the presence of eternity, the mountains are as transient as the clouds.”

“Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.”

“There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.”

“There is no common sense in going to the field to fight and leaving a man at home to undo all that you accomplish.”

“Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.”

“Courage without conscience is a wild beast.”
