Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert\u2014himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt\u2014the Divine Reason . . . We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.\u201d (<em>Orthodoxy<\/em>, p. 31f.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dear friend of mine sent me this quote from G.
