Philosophy will not do it  (John Jay Chapman Quotes) It is just as impossible to help reform by conciliating prejudice as it is by buying votes. Prejudice is the enemy. Whoever is not for you is against you  (John Jay Chapman Quotes) If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language.
