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)

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)]

During my youth, the Blanket Stand was always the first game of chance one encountered upon entering the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall. Pennsylvania, 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #encampment #glamping #blanket #blankets #blanketstand #gamesofchance #gameofchance #gambling #gamblingstands #fair #fairs #carnival #carnivals #summer #summerfun #summerentertainment #entertainment #entertainments #camping #pink #blue #colorful #tent #tents #enjoyment

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
   “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
   “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting to-day?” said Piglet.
   Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
   “It’s the same thing,” he said.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 10 “Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party” (1926)
