    In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.

    To my fancy, one looks back on life, it has only two responsibilities, which include all the others: one is the bringing of new life into existence; the other, educating it after it is brought in. All betrayals of trust result from these original sins.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
