Thought of the day:"Lordings," quod he, "in chirches whan I preche,
I peyne me to han an hauteyn speche,
And ring it out as round as gooth a belle,
For I can al by rote that I telle.
My theme is alwey oon, and evere was
Radix malorum est Cupiditas."1
-from Pardoner's Prologue of The Canterbury Tales.
1 Avarice (the love of money) is the root of all evil.
