"Liberty of conscience and inquiry can only be temporary and transitional, and must be followed
by positive decision on the part of those qualified
to decide. It cannot be held that every man is
competent to form opinions in social and political
questions; it cannot be maintained that intellects
of weak capacity can judge obscure and complex
questions, and that all opinions are equally
valuable. All society is based on faith in the
opinion of others and in reciprocal confidence."
