The Thoughtful Warden故事
            THE Warden of a Penitentiary was one day putting locks on the doors
            of all the cells when a mechanic said to him:
            "Those locks can all be opened from the inside - you are very
            imprudent."
            The Warden did not look up from his work, but said:
            "If that is called imprudence, I wonder what would be called a
            thoughtful provision against the vicissitudes of fortune."
