[WEB4LIB] Quotation stumper

[Sloan, Bernie]

For that matter, go to the STUMPERS-L gopher server:

gopher://gopher.cuis.edu/77:nosort:gopher_root:[000000]_search.shell%20gophe
r_root:[searchidx]stumpers-l* 

Enter these keywords: racism evidence

And you discover that someone would really like the answer to these
questions.  :-)

A posting in January of this year, with the subject line  "my
now-traditional questions" notes "These are questions that I have asked
before, but gotten no answers to, and that I will continue to submit
annually until either they are answered, or I die, whichever comes first."

Web4Lib and Libref readers,
A reference librarian posted the query below to LIBREF.  What a coincidence
-- the same queries had been asked for several weeks on answers.google.com
the Google requestor offered $50 for the answer to each question. The
questions have now "expired" on Google's Answers.

Dear LibRefers, 

  A patron has asked where the following two (different) quotes originated 

  1) "We learn not from experience, but from experiment." 

  2) "Racism is too serious a charge to require evidence" or "the charge of
racism is too serious to need the
  support of evidence"

  I found a couple that might be appropriate for the first one, but I'm
hitting a brick wall for the second.  Does
  anyone out there recognize them.  Any help will be appreciated.
