"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
According to my quote of the day email, “Today is the traditional feast day of Saint Thomas Aquinas, who died on this day in 1274. He was a scholar, theologian, and philosopher — both in the modern sense and the older sense meaning scientist.”
Here’s a quotation I wouldn’t have expected from a Catholic saint:
“Because of the diverse conditions of humans, it happens that some acts are virtuous to some people, as appropriate and suitable to them, while the same acts are immoral for others, as inappropriate to them.”
