«Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? / Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; / When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? / Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? / When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, / And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, / And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? / Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; / That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? / It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.»

«Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?»
