I thought this was funny.


"God did not decide to save his people through (Stoic) logic."

St. Ambrose

Next time i'll wear pants...

..But need must be distinguished from good. When the student wears shorts for a rainy day at school to avoid having to walk and sit around in wet pants, he must not forget that a cold wind may accompany the rain. In that case, it does him precious little good to be dry, when he has, in fact, died from the cold. Although the good of man is to be dry, the common need of man is to remain living. When the chill that begins from the knees leads to hypothermia and death, the need of the man has been neglected for his good. But as the 13th century University of Paris phrase reads "first live, then stay dry." If man does not survive the day first, he will never be able to dry himself and live in his preferred dry state.
