“The various combinations of facial contortions caused by the mixed desires of the senses plainly show the thoughts and stabilized characteristics caused by fear, anger, egotism, selfishness, gluttony, or self-denial, kindness and happiness.
 “Every thought, good or bad, serious or trivial, strong or weak, constructive or destructive, noble or ignoble, inspiring or idiotic, leaves its impression upon the face, and for those who can read that language, the character of man is as plain as if a record of it were printed in bold, black type across his countenance.

 Today the children are taught to drink alcoholic beverages just as their greater forefathers taught their great forefathers to drink alcoholic beverages thousands of years ago.
 Today the children are taught to gamble and cheat one another out of their possessions just as their greater forefathers taught their great forefathers to gamble and cheat
