While Mudcat was down, I picked out a few quotes. They are absolutely not aimed at any individual.

From Branch Rickey, Dodgers general manager who broke baseball's color barrier:

                He that will not reason is a bigot.
             He that cannot reason is a fool.
             He that dares not reason is a slave.

From me, I suppose:

             Back in the '60s, people often used the term 'heavy'. I once suggested that

                   "Sometimes 'heavy' just means that you've overlaoded your wagon with shit!"

From comic Don Rickles:

                   "Don't cross swords with someone who knows how to use one."
