Popular quotes about Drink! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 3
Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable. Never drink when you are wretched without it, or you will be like the grey-faced gin-drinker in the slum; but drink when you would be happy without it, and you will be like the laughing peasant of Italy.

But drink because you do not need it, for this is irrational drinking, and the ancient health of the world.

Gen. 26:15-18). Wisdom commands us to drink from this spring, saying, 'Drink water from your own pitchers and from the spring of your own wells' (Prov. 5:15). If we do this we shall find that the treasures of wisdom truly are within us.

Paulo CoelhoLike the water of a deep stream, love is always too much. We did not make it. Though we drink till we burst, we cannot have it all, or want it all.

It does not hold us, except we keep returning to its rich waters thirsty. We enter, willing to die, into the commonwealth of its joy.

There is, of course, more to it than this; but these are sufficient for the beginner, and even the virtuoso never outgrows them.
