So far as I am concerned, I think more of reasons than of reputations, more of principles than of persons, more of nature than of names, more of facts than of faiths.
From Robert Green Ingersoll
The mind cannot be securely anchored. If we do not advance, we go backward. If we do not grow, we decay. If we do not develop, we shrink and shrivel.
Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.
It is an old habit with theologians to beat the living with the bones of the dead.
Few rich men own their property; their property owns them.
If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.
There is no slavery but ignorance.
