Do you sincerely declare that you love mankind in general, of what profession or religion soever? Do you think any person ought to be harmed in his body, name, or goods, for mere speculative opinions, or his external way of worship? Do you love truth for truth's sake; and will you endeavor impartially to find and receive it yourself, and communicate it to others. β¨ Benjamin Franklin, Walter Isaacson (2003). A Benjamin Franklin Reader, p.83, Simon and Schuster
