Freethought Quotes

  • “Happiness is the only good.
    The time to be happy is now.
    The place to be happy is here.
    The way to be happy is to make others so.”
    by Robert Green Ingersoll
  • “My parents taught me that the provable, tangible, verifiable things were sacred, that sometimes the most astonishing ideas are clearly profound, but when they get labeled as "facts", we lose sight of their beauty. It doesn't have to be this way. Science is the source of so much insight worthy of ecstatic celebration.”
    by Sasha Sagan
    For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
  • “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government.”
    by Thomas Jefferson
    Letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813
