He who will not reason, is a bigot; he who cannot, is a fool; and he who dares not, is a slave.
----Lord Byron
A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimension.
----Oliver Wendell Holmes
The vital habits of democracy: the ability to follow an argument, grasp the point of view of another, expand the boundaries of understanding, debate the alternative purposes that might be pursued.
----John Dewey
