  1. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools — the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans — and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, “You can’t trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so let’s have a drink.”

    Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) English author
    Discworld No. 13, Small Gods (1992)

  11. A quotation from The Bible

    Wine is very life to humans
       if taken in moderation.
    What is life to one who is without wine?
       It has been created to make people happy.
    Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation
       is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
       
    [ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώποις,
       ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν ἐν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ.
    τίς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ;
       καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις.
    ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς
       οἶνος πινόμενος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτάρκης·]

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:27ff (Sir 31:27–28) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]

  15. A quotation from Horace

    Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
    Think, while there’s time, how soon Death’s pyre may blaze;
    And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
       At the fit hour ’tis sweet to unbend.
     
    [Verum pone moras et studium lucri
    nigrorumque memor, dum licet, ignium
    misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:
    dulce est desipere in loco.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Odes [Carmina], Book 4, # 12, l. 25ff (4.12.25-28) (13 BC) [tr. Marshall (1908)]

  16. The anti-woke and the fash are clearly on a winning streak, and have been so for a while. And yet they seem just as angry and just as victim complexy as ever.

    Do they even enjoy their victory at all? Never have I seen a social movement that everyone knew about be crushed so thoroughly and so quickly as woke was – so why aren't they cheering?

    What's the point of destroying so many peoples lives if they can't even feel happy about it?

  17. A quotation from Omar Khayyam

    Go to! Cast dust on those deaf skies, who spurn
    Thy orisons and bootless prayers, and learn
       To quaff the cup, and hover round the fair;
    Of all who go, did ever one return?

    Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
    Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 97 [tr. Whinfield (1883), # 267]
