Piers Plowman

There is nothing like the crisp mornings of Fall. We all know that when the cooler weather arrives, the vacation times are not too far off. With that anticipation comes students that get a bit rambunctious. It is for this reason, I am almost certain William Langland, author of Piers Plowman, had to be a teacher. In that narrative poem, written between 1360 and 1387, Langland is credited for having said “maxima enim, patientia virtus” (patience is the greatest virtue). Chaucer, between 1387 and 1400, later wrote in Canterbury Tales that "Patience is a high virtue... but virtue can hurt you." No doubt that the sentiment of these two gentlemen were correct. Patience is important. Have an awesome weekend. Go Pups! (cue Kenny Loggins: This Is It)
