To break the chain of any error fastened on the mind almost from the beginning of its consciousness, to come out from habitual associations loved and revered, to separate one’s self from the faith of many centuries and stand up against the anathemas of hoary tradition, to encounter one’s own opinions proclaimed for many years to living and endeared assemblies and published to the world in one’s own admired books, to expose one’s self to a social atmosphere from which the accustomed sunshine is withdrawn and which it may never revisit—to do and endure all this in the fullness of one’s honors, and when the infirmities of age need the support of more than wonted kindness, requires a fervent love of truth, the full strength of conscience, and a deep persuasion of the approval of God.

Who wrote that excellent quote?
