I wouldn't doubt that he let his assistants do most of his work, and they could have missed them." "Possibly, but the lesions are easy to see. At any rate, the culprit is known now." "Culprit?" "Hepatodirus hominis the human liver fluke. He's a tricky little fellow travels almost as far as men do." "I'm glad it's your problem, not mine.
This complaint is by no means a new one. Scaliger says, as quoted by omnivorous old Burton: "Nequaquam, nos homines sumus sed partes hominis." The old illustration of this used to be found in pin-making. It took twenty different workmen to make a pin, beginning with drawing the wire and ending with sticking in the paper.
Nihil potest esse homini causa sufficiens peccati, quod est spiritualis ruina, nisi propria voluntas; et ideo dicta vel facta alterius hominis possunt esse solum causa imperfecta aliqualiter inducens ad ruinam, saith Aquinas, giving a reason why, in the definition of scandals, he saith not that it giveth cause, but that it giveth occasion of ruin.

An ancient father says "that a dog we know is better company than a man whose language we do not understand." "Ut externus alieno pene non sit hominis vice." Pliny, Nat. Hist. vii. And how much less sociable is false speaking than silence?
Certainly if miracles be the command over nature, they appear most in adversity. Vere magnum habere fragilitatem hominis, securitatem Dei. This would have done better in poesy, where transcendences are more allowed. But to speak in a mean. The virtue of prosperity, is temperance; the virtue of adversity, is fortitude; which in morals is the more heroical virtue.
When he wished to evade the maternal eye, Gotthold used in his letters to set up a screen of Latin between himself and her; and we conjecture the worthy Pastor Primarius playing over again in his study at Camenz, with some scruples of conscience, the old trick of Chaucer's fox: "Mulier est hominis confusio; Madam, the sentence of this Latin is. Woman is mannes joy and mannes bliss."
Moreover, if the animal nature of man was the result of evolution, so must that of woman have been. But the Catholic doctrine, according to Suarez, is that woman was, in the strictest and most literal sense of the words, made out of the rib of man. "Nihilominus sententia Catholica est, verba illa Scripturae esse ad literam intelligenda. III. "De hominis creatione," cap. ii. Lib. III. cap. iv.
