“Robert Ingersoll's character was as nearly perfect as it is possible for the character of mortal man to be... none sweeter or nobler had ever blessed the world. The example of his life was of more value to posterity than all the sermons that were ever written on the doctrine of original sin... The genius for humor and wit and satire of a Voltaire, a wide amplitude of imagination, and a greatness of heart and brain that placed him upon an equal footing with the greatest thinkers of antiquity. He stands, at the close of his career, the first great reformer of the age.

{Thomas' words at the funeral of the great Robert Ingersoll}”
― Charles Spalding Thomas

“Lord, Please Bless My Child

I was blessed with a precious gift
Beautiful and sweet
God’s grand masterpiece
She brought me peace
And made me believe
So much in the Lord
My life is filled with joy
Through this lovely Soul
A beam of hope
I know she will grow
Become so great
Yes, I will be glad
To see her prosper
As she dwells on earth
I pray with a sincere heart
Lord, please bless my child”

“It is our mission to enrich the lives of those around us. Therefore, such an action is not a choice nor does it fall to the bane of our selfish preferences. Nonetheless we presume it a choice that we defer to others who might be more aligned with such ideals. And in doing so we trudge through our lives leaving footprints empty and barren. And should a passerby catch sight of those prints, they might wonder why we were so foolish as to walk in such a way. And if at some point that passerby should happen to be us, regret will be added to the footprints which we already regret.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
