Robert G. Ingersoll quotes on respect

134. I have the same right to give you my opinion that you have to give me yours. I have no right to compel you to hear, if you do not want to. I have no right to compel you to speak if you do not want to. If you do not wish to know my thought, I have no right to force it upon you.

157. It is impossible for a man to be respectable enough to make a mistake respectable.
