Non posso dirvi di pie.

What if this weren't a hypothetical question? Preserving health by too severe a rule is a worrisome malady. The next time a car appeared down Market Street, I stepped right out into the road, waving my arms over my head, shouting. The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. How could you be a Great Man if history brought you no Great Events, or brought you to them at the wrong time, too young, too old? I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. The transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse. To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.
