When Cows Go Bad

The better stuff a creature is made of—the cleverer and stronger and freer it is—then the better it will be if it goes right, but also the worse it will be if it goes wrong. A cow cannot be very good or very bad; a dog can be both better and worse; a child better and worse still; an ordinary man, still more so; a man of genius still more so; a superhuman spirit best—or worst—of all.

-C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, 53.

Logic

“Quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi.” What is permitted to Jove is not permitted to your cow.

-William F. Buckley, National Review
