“I HAVE no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort.

The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary.”
