If all be true that I do think, There are five reasons we should drink:... Good wine, a friend, or being dry, Or lest we should be by and by, Or any other reason why.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Oh, yes, I'd do it all again; the spirit is willing yet; I feel the same desire to do the work but the flesh is weak. It's too bad... that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
