The Thoughtful Warden
|
THE Warden of a Penitentiary was one day putting locks on the doors of all the cells when a mechanic said to him: "Those locks can all be opened from the inside - you are very imprudent." The Warden did not look up from his work, but said: "If that is called imprudence, I wonder what would be called a thoughtful provision against the vicissitudes of fortune." |
