“You Hollanders are conceited and senseless people; you will make yourselves unworthy of the mercy which I now offer; you will subject yourselves to the highest punishment by proudly opposing the great force I have brought with the mere handful of men which I am told you have in your Castle; you will obstinately persevere in this. Do you not wish to be wiser? Let your losses at least teach you, that your power here cannot be compared to a thousandth part of mine.”

“Sometimes people stop me in the street and ask me eef I am Harry Belafonte. When I say no, they get mad and walk away.”

Roberto Clemente (1934–1972) Puerto Rican baseball player

As quoted in "Clemente Keeps Them On Their Toes" by Larry Klein, in Sport (October 1960), p. 96
Comment: While they may have been the first, Pittsburghers were clearly not the last to perceive this likeness. On August 18, 1973 (the day Clemente would've turned 39), Belafonte was pegged by Screen Gems (producers of Brian's Song) to star in what would prove to be but the first of several planned but never realized Clemente biopics. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zCAsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=850FAAAAIBAJ&pg=3049%2C4375173&dq=screen-gems-made-for-tv-film-roberto-clemente-harry-belafonte

“When I read that a "big fish" swallowed Jonah — it does not say whale. That is my recollection of it. A big fish, and I believe it, and I believe in a God who can make a whale and can make a man and make both what He pleases. … One miracle is just as easy to believe as another. … It is hard to believe for you, but easy for me. A miracle is a thing performed beyond what man can perform. When you get within the realm of miracles; and it is just as easy to believe the miracle of Jonah as any other miracle in the Bible.”

William Jennings Bryan (1860–1925) United States Secretary of State

Scopes Trial (1925), Day 7

He doesn’t believe in me.”
