I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. Evelyn Beatrice Hall, (1868 - 1919) biographical author of Voltaire; The Friends of Voltaire often mis-attributed to Voltaire

The Christian will analyze the creed of the of the Mohammedan and find it ridiculous; the Mohammedan analyzes the creed of the Christian and in turn finds it ridiculous. That is thinking. But does the Mohammedan or the Christian analyze as critically each his own belief? Will he endeavor to analyze it at all? David Marshall Brooks, (1902–1994); Freethinker, Author The Necessity of Atheism (1933)

In the conduct of my newspaper, I carefully excluded all libelling and personal abuse, which is of late years become so disgraceful to our country. Whenever I was solicited to insert anything of that kind, and the writers pleaded, as they generally did, the liberty of the press, and that a newspaper was like a stagecoach, in which any one who would pay had a right to a place, my answer was, that I would print the piece separately if desired, and the author might have as many copies as he pleased to distribute himself, but that I would not take upon me to spread his detraction; and that, having contracted with my subscribers to furnish them with what might be either useful or entertaining, I could not fill their papers with private altercation, in which they had no concern, without doing them manifest injustice. Benjamin Franklin, (1706 - 1790) American statesman; The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
