    “There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The wind of change is blowing through the continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.”
