More Quotes from Henry Louis Mencken:
It is common to assume that human progress affects everyone that even the dullest man, in these bright days, knows more than any man of, say, the Eighteenth Century, and is far more civilized. This assumption is quite erroneous.... The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history.

They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.Henry Louis Mencken
