"...my religion is simply this: First. Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself." --Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) From The Limitations of Toleration (The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, vol. 7, quotation on p. 258) #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #RobertIngersoll In the late 19th century, Robert G. Ingersoll, a lawyer, lecturer, and fierce defender of civil liberty, summed up his ethical core in a line that still resonates today: “Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.” This principle captures the heart of true tolerance and justice: treat others with the same respect and freedom you expect. It’s simple in wording but powerful in meaning, demanding we look beyond personal bias and extend equal rights to all. Ingersoll’s statement was part of a larger speech on the limitations of toleration, where he emphasized intellectual freedom, open dialogue, and mutual respect. His idea echoes through modern discussions of human rights and civil liberties: justice isn’t about selectively granting freedoms but about universally upholding them. Whether applied to race, religion, gender, or belief, this golden rule of rights invites us to look at the world through empathy and fairness rather than fear or exclusion.

A quotation from **Robert Ingersoll**
> Each nation has created a god, and the god has always resembled his creators. He hated and loved what they hated and loved, and he was invariably found on the side of those in power. Each god was intensely patriotic, and detested all nations but his own […]

"If you want to find out what a man is to the bottom, give him power. Any man can stand adversity — only a great man can stand prosperity. It is the glory of Abraham Lincoln that he never abused power only on the side of mercy. He was a perfectly honest man. When he had power, he used it in mercy …" — Robert Ingersoll

Din kimseyi desteklemez. Desteklenmesi gerekir. Buğday ya da mısır üretmez; toprağı sürmez; ormanları kesmez. Daimi bir dilencidir. Başkalarının emeğiyle yaşar ve sonra da vereni destekliyormuş gibi davranma küstahlığını gösterir. - Robert G. Ingersoll #Ateizm #Din #RobertIngersoll
