If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begin upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.

 The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

"I think how little we can hold in mind, how everything is constantly lapsing into oblivion, with every extinguished life, how the world is, as it were, draining itself, in that the history of countless places and objects which themselves have no power of memory is never heard, never described or  passed on."

Ernest Hemingway:


"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with fools." 

"To drink is nothing," Hemingway proclaimed in "For Whom the Bell Tolls." "It is to be drunk that is important."

F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you."  

Alcohol takes years off your life, but "it "always makes you happy. Hemingway.

Martinis will make you "feel civilized," and will make the people you hate seem tolerable.

Drinking means lying to your sugar mama, but if you feel guilty for deceiving a female -- or if you feel guilty for anything -- you are definitely not drinking enough.


"To drink is nothing," "It is to be drunk that is important."

Whining is for women; whiskey is for men.
