"Unreasoning acceptance is the most baleful hindrance to reform. He 

 who believes all that his elders teach, without the consent of his more mod- 

 ern mind, unconsciously admits that the world is at a standstill. 



Every step ahead in history has been made by those who would not 

 agree with sanctioned dogma. Galileo would not believe the world stood 

 still, Columbus did not believe that it was flat. In spite of sainted mothers 

 and venerable sires, we do not now favor their pet theory."
