“The name of Robert G. Ingersoll is in the pantheon of the world. More than any other man who ever lived he destroyed religious superstition. He was the Shakespeare of oratory -- the greatest that the world has ever known. Ingersoll lived and died far in advance of his time. He wrought nobly for the transformation of this world into a habitable globe; and long after the last echo of destruction has been silenced, his name will be loved and honored, and his fame will shine resplendent, for his immortality is fixed and glorious. {Debbs had this much respect for Ingersoll, despite their radically different political views. This statement was made at Ingersoll's funeral}” LoveInspirationalGreatnessHonorRespectPraiseAdmirationSuperstitionShakespeareLegendaryOratoryWilliam ShakespearePantheonIngersollRobert G IngersollRobert IngersollRobert Green IngersollReligious Superstition Author:Eugene Victor Debs
