SIR – With all the various opinions and disagreements we have at this time, mainly membership of the EU and religious divides among others, made by politicians and pundits alike, perhaps if the following two quotations were adopted then better cohesion and understanding would prevail?

“He who will not reason is a bigot He who cannot is a fool And he who dare not is a slave.”

(Sir William Drummond (1585-1649) “Don’t condemn the judgement of others because it differs from your own.

You might both be wrong!”

(Anon).
