This man who knows more than Neptune does of the bottom of the seas, who comprehends the structure of a leaf, splits atoms and counts molecules, traps whales and diagrams a bug’s anatomy, knows not enough to grasp the simplest truths and bend them to his will. He hails the Golden Rule as golden, then ignores it and makes new laws of lead.

“Descent of the Gods” broadcast August 3, 1941 on CBS
