We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
From Robert Green Ingersoll
An honest God is the noblest work of man.
If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn't pay Smith.
Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.
The more liberty you give away the more you will have.
In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
Surely there is grandeur in knowing that in the realm of thought, at least, you are without a chain; that you have the right to explore all heights and depth; that there are no walls nor fences, nor prohibited places, nor sacred corners in all the vast expanse of thought.
Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.
The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.
