"Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science." ― Robert Green Ingersoll Topic(s): Experience More From Robert Green Ingersoll "We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death." "If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn’t pay Smith." "I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous – if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men." More In Experience "Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week."― Will Rogers "That’s not to say that women’s priorities are better than men’s. Rather, when women are empowered, when they can speak from the experience of their own lives, they often address different, previously neglected issues. And families and whole communities benefit."― Dee Dee Myers "More people should read books. It’s the most concentrated experience you can have."― Vivienne Westwood
