Every step in human progress, from the first feeble stirrings in the abyss of time, has been opposed by the great majority of men.

The word; the forth-speaking of a thought, an idea, a truth, is the beginning of every new creation, or pulse of creation.

The darkness never comprehends it; but always, to as many as receive it, it gives power.
