    When one has one's hand full of truth it is not always wise to open it. ~French Proverb

    Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident. ~Arthur Schopenhauer

      And who can forget Paul Robeson in 'Showboat' in 1928:

      Ol' Man Ripper,
      that Ol' Man Ripper,
      He mus' rip something',
      But don' say nothin';
      He jus' keeps rippin',
      He keeps on rippin' along.


      What a song! What a voice!
      huh?
