Robert Green Ingersoll

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.

Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.

In every age in which books have been produced, the governing class, the respectable, have been opposed to the works of real genius.

Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence.

The argument about zoning and the presidency of Nigeria is like the philosophical argument of the egg or the hen. Who is older through the evolutionary process, who came first?

The epithets of imbeciles have never bothered me.
