| Robert Green Ingersoll
A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie. Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, everyone should be serene, slow-pulsed and calm. Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind. Courage without conscience is a wild beast. Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne. 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 the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions. It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. The destroyer of weeds, thistles, and thorns is a benefactor whether he soweth grain or not. The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others. There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust, while the infamous sit at banquets. |
