Lincoln, Santa Claus, and our "imperialist" picture version of Jesus.
There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women, and I am neither one." —Greek saying "How womanly it is for one who is a man to comb himself and shave himself with a razor, for the sake of fine effect, and to arrange his hair at the mirror, shave his cheeks, pluck hairs out of them, and smooth them! He adorned man like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him as an attribute of manhood, with a hairy chest--a sign of strength and rule." St. Clement of Alexandria, 2.275 (one of my son's namesakes)
