“To an economist, no action is really a mistake, it's just an optimal answer to a different question.”
John H. Cochrane

Thomas Aquinas
“omne verum, a quocumque dicatur, a spiritu sancto est”
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

Dorothy Day
“The final object of this love and gratitude was God. No human creature could receive or contain so vast a flood of love and joy as I often felt after the birth of my child.”
Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist

Basil the Great
“Lamps are made needless by the advent of the sun; and, on the appearance of the truth, the occupation of the Law is gone, and prophecy is hushed into silence. He, on the contrary, who has been empowered to look down into the depth of the meaning of the Law, and, after passing through the obscurity of the letter, as through a veil, to arrive within things unspeakable, is like Moses taking off the veil when he spoke with God. He, too, turns from the letter to the Spirit.”
Basil the Great, Basil: Letters and Select Works

Epictetus
“What is the first business of one who studies philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for any one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows.”
Epictetus, Discourses
