Holy men? Holy cabbages! Holy bean-pods! What do they do but live and suck in sustenance and grow fat? If that be holiness, I could show you hogs in this forest who are fit to head the calendar.

There is work in the world, man, and it is not by hiding behind stone walls that we shall do it.
Arthur Conan Doyle
