From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into. Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745)

Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out. Sydney Smith (1771 - 1845)

Never argue with someone who knows he's right. hydnjo (19xx - 20xx)
