hernesheir commented on the word chicken-heartedly
I dare say you find the modern democratic voter a very troublesome person, chicken-heartedly diffident as to the value of his opinions on the technics of art or science, about which he may learn all that there is to be known, but cocksure about right and wrong in morals, politics and religion, about which he can only guess at the depth and danger of his ignorance. -- Bernard Shaw, The Sanity of Art. New York, Benj. R. Tucker, Publisher, 1908, p. 45.
