Before Noah, men having only water to drink, could not find the truth. Accordingly...they became abominably wicked, and they were justly exterminated by the water they loved to drink. This good man, Noah, having seen that all his contemporaries had perished by this unpleasant drink, took a dislike to it; and God, to relieve his dryness, created the vine and revealed to him the art of making le vin. By the aid of this liquid he unveiled more and more truth.

Take it from Richard, poor and lame, What's begun in anger ends in shame.

If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!

No nation was ever ruined by trade.

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

Without justice, courage is weak.
