I hate above all things a cross man. What right has he to murder the sunshine of a day? What right has he to assassinate the Joy of life? When you go home, you ought to go like a ray of light-so that it will, even in the night, burst out of the doors and windows and illuminate the darkness.

Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to express all that we feel; and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into music. Music is the sunshine - the climate - of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect June.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll (1952). “Life and Letters”

We all know that men in moderate circumstances can have just as comfortable houses as the richest, just as comfortable clothing, just as good food. They can see just as fine paintings, just as marvelous statues, and they can hear just as good music. They can attend the same theaters and the same operas. They can enjoy the same sunshine, and above all, can love and be loved just as well as kings and millionaires.

Robert Green Ingersoll
Money, Kings, Sunshine
Robert Green Ingersoll (1902). “The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll: Miscellany”

Robert Green Ingersoll
Believe, Sunshine, Men
Robert Green Ingersoll (1909). “Miscellany”
