Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.

Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.

The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.

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

Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.

Those who can bear all can dare all.
