A quotation from Horace

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.
 
[Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas,” l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

"The truth is that drinking always and inevitably leads to one state: drunkenness. It admittedly provides considerable pleasure, sometimes almost sexual, but it remains a relatively immediate sensation which does not elevate the spirit. It is in no way an art. Nor is it a philosophy. It does not open other doors to understanding the world. It just makes you drunk. Full stop."

~ Claire Touzard in ‘Sans alcool’ (Without Alcohol)
