Ingersollia

The book 'Ingersollia' is a collection of profound and thought-provoking words spoken by Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, who was a man of his times, daring to speak out loud all the thoughts in his head without fear. His influence has been deep and wide over thoughtful minds for the last few years, sowing strange seeds in many fields. The book contains gems of wisdom on a myriad of topics, including patriotism, statesmanship, philosophy, religion, and more. Here's one of his thoughts on the matter of farmers being in debt: «Interest eats night and day, and the more it eats the hungrier it grows. The farmer in debt, lying awake at night, can, if he listens, hear it gnaw. If he owes nothing, he can hear his corn grow. Get out of debt, as soon as you possibly can. You have supported idle avarice and lazy economy long enough.»
