Than half an hundred men of war,
So he appear'd; and by his skill,
No less than dint of sword, cou'd kill.”

“Cruelty is the worst of sins. It is far better to worship a false God, than to injure your neighbor—far better to bow before a monstrosity of stone, than to enslave your fellow-men.”

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833–1899) Union United States Army officer

Context: I do not think idolatry the worst of sins. Cruelty is the worst of sins. It is far better to worship a false God, than to injure your neighbor—far better to bow before a monstrosity of stone, than to enslave your fellow-men.
