"Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. "
John Updike
("Gratia Dei sum quod sum" means "Thanks be to God that I am what I am.")
