Dogmatism

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), Heretics (1905; rpt. London: John Lane, 1908), p. 285:
The vice of the modern notion of mental progress is that it is always something concerned with the breaking of bonds, the effacing of boundaries, the casting away of dogmas. But if there be such a thing as mental growth, it must mean the growth into more and more definite convictions, into more and more dogmas.
