  1. A quotation from Horace

    The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
    But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
    If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
    And lend to good advice a patient ear.
     
    [Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
    nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
    si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas,” l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

  5. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

    Mr. Butler approved of gluttony. It was, he thought, a nice, comfortable vice. Never caused any noise or trouble and the sufferer just expired of an apoplexy, regretted by all those who had attended his excellent dinner parties.

    Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer
    Phryne Fisher No. 13, The Castlemaine Murders, ch. 4 (2003)

  11. A quotation from Selden, John:

    «
    Pride may be allowed to this or that degree, else a man cannot keep up his dignity. In gluttony there must be eating, in drunkenness there must be drinking; ’tis not the eating, nor ’tis not the drinking that is to be blamed, but the excess. So in pride.

    Having grown up in the woods, no public services I can attest and guarantee that poverty is a great conserver, whereas ,money destroys everything .It's as fking simple as that . Greed Trumps need.

  17. #Cdnpoli #Uspoli #Climate #ClimateChange #Gluttony #Greed #Planned #Predicted

    Based on past behaviour Meism vs Usism ,an inability to cooperate for mutual benefit ,there will be water wars, as greed reigns supreme .

    Assured mutual destruction

    An American water crisis
    The parching of U.S. southwest is becoming real. It could affect Canada, too.

    This is the same as climate change or covid ,as neither exist ,but gluttony-almonds & rich lawns- was warned against and ignored, as usual.

    So grass or cash, what are you drinking ?
