    “Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists.

    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “... a large portion of those who demand woman suffrage are persons who have not been trained to reason, and are chiefly guided by their generous sensibilities.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    “And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.”
    —Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
