Providence and Improvidence

i

We should no longer say: Put your trust in Providence, but in

Improvidence, for this is what we mean.

ii

To put one’s trust in God is only a longer way of saying that one will

chance it.

iii

There is nothing so imprudent or so improvident as over-prudence or

over-providence.
