    New truths of a higlier order, and of which the connexion is not seen with common and hackneyed doctrines, are scouted by all, and especially sneered at, denied, and abused by the base creatures who have just sense enough to see there is really something in them; who have just ambition enough to make them hate one who appears to know more than they do; and who have just cunning or skill enough to bias minds yet weaker than their own. To crown suitably such procedure, the doctrines at first denied are subsequently pilfered, with all the little art of which such minds are capable.— Alexander Walker on the Nervous System.
