The people who control America today make decisions like drunkards. They do not understand what they are doing at all. ~ Ali Khamenei
Drunkards quotes by Ali Khamenei
Drunkards have a problem, not with sobriety, but with reality. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Drunkards quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Nobody can return to you something that was never yours, to begin with. Let's trace back to the history of your race: the humans were made for slavery and were found faulty for that purpose. They showed immense energy and willpower only when confronted against tremendous obstacles with no weapons in their hands. With those bare hands, and the wits that exceeded even those of their creators and equalled the ones of mighty gods, they could break mountains. Once the humans earned at least a bit of benevolence from their creators, though, they'd immediately turn into lazy drunkards feasting upon the luxuries of life. They were quite haughty creatures, at that – one could never make them work without posing a certain purpose before their eyes. They should be given an aim they approved of, or else, they'd move no finger! Yet, if such necessities were met, they'd begin to loaf around. Forbidding them to taste those luxuries? Nay, they obeyed not! Hence, their creators cast them down on Earth – a planet inhabited by many other faulty experiments of different alien species, so that their lives would end. Yet even here, the humans defied their creators – instead of dying out, they adapted to the environment they were cast in, due to their boundless wits and the unexplainable willpower that no other species could ever possess. They mated the local species whom they could more or less find a common language with, killed off the obstacles, and conquered the planet as their own. The conque ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Drunkards quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
In his theory Perrow recognized that modern systems are made up of thousands of parts, including fallible human decision makers, which interrelate in ways that are, like Laplace´s atoms, impossible to track and anticipate individually. Yet one can bet on the fact that just as atoms executing a drunkard´s walk will eventually get somewhere, so too will accidents eventually occur. Called normal accident theory, Perrow´s doctrine describes how that happens – how accidents can occur without clear causes, without those glaring errors and incompetent villains sought by corporate or government commission. ~ Leonard Mlodinow
Drunkards quotes by Leonard Mlodinow
Then Christ will say to us, 'Come you also! Come you drunkards! Come you weaklings! Come you depraved!' And he will say to us, 'Vile creatures, you in the image of the beast and you who bear his mark. All the same, you come too!' And the wise and prudent will say, 'Lord, why are you welcoming them? And he will say, 'O wise and prudent, I am welcoming them because not one of them has ever judged himself worthy. And he will stretch out his arms to us, and we shall fall at his feet, and burst into sobs, and then we shall understand everything, everything! Lord, your kingdom come! ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky
Drunkards quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is no creative expression of artistic value that has ever been produced by ex-drunkards and ex-drug-addicts. Who the hell would bother with a Rolling Stones without booze or with a Jimi Hendrix without heroin? ~ Lars Von Trier
Drunkards quotes by Lars Von Trier
Nations are as equal as so many madmen or drunkards. ~ Fritz Leiber
Drunkards quotes by Fritz Leiber
There are more Physitians in health then drunkards. ~ George Herbert
Drunkards quotes by George Herbert
Who with the Devil tries to play fair,
weaves the net of his own despair.
Oh, smile; what's a house between drunkards? ~ Derek Walcott
Drunkards quotes by Derek Walcott
Be not among z drunkards [5] or among a gluttonous eaters of meat, 21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and b slumber will clothe them with rags. ~ Anonymous
Drunkards quotes by Anonymous
A sober man may become a drunkard through being a coward. A brave man may become a coward through being a drunkard. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Drunkards quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
There will never be peace until God's house and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top ... There is absolutely no way that government can operate successfully unless led by godly men and women operating under the laws of the God of Jacob ~ Pat Robertson
Drunkards quotes by Pat Robertson
Show me 12 drunkards and I will show you 12 nagging wives. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Drunkards quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Thieves, drunkards, lunatics, wastrels, and whores we might all be, but there ain't a coward among us. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Drunkards quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
There is this to be said in favor of drinking, that it takes the drunkard first out of society, then out of the world. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Drunkards quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous [16] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, [17] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ~ Anonymous
Drunkards quotes by Anonymous
We were green: we ripened and grew golden.
The Sea terrified us: we learned how to drown.
Squat and earthbound, we unfolded huge wings.
We started sober: are love's startled drunkards.
You hide me in your cloak of nothingness
Reflect my ghost in your glass of being
I am nothing, yet appear: transparent dream
Where your eternity briefly trembles. ~ Rumi
Drunkards quotes by Rumi
To describe drunkenness for the colorful vocabulary is rather cynical. There is nothing easier than to capitalize on drunkards. ~ Anton Chekhov
Drunkards quotes by Anton Chekhov
Know therefore! In order to achieve total painting, which requires the active cooperation of all the senses... you must paint, as drunkards sing and vomit, sounds, noises, and smells! ~ Carlo Carra
Drunkards quotes by Carlo Carra
A vice in common can be the ground of a friendship but not a virtue in common. X and Y may be friends because they are both drunkards or womanizers but, if they are both sober and chaste, they are friends for some other reason. ~ W. H. Auden
Drunkards quotes by W. H. Auden
Contemplatives are not likely to become gamblers, or procurers, or drunkards; they do not as a rule preach intolerance, or make war; do not find it necessary to rob, swindle or grind the faces of the poor. ~ Aldous Huxley
Drunkards quotes by Aldous Huxley
Humankind devotes much of its collective energy to managing personal and institutional anxiety and dealing with unsuccessful efforts of its civilians to cope with the tides of shifting social and economic conditions. Every city corridor houses downtrodden citizens whom have given up on life, the dopers, smoke hounds, crack heads, and unrepentant drunkards whom spend their days pushing shopping carts and their nights sleeping in gutters. In marked contrast to these filthy and wretched souls whom inhabit the skid row of every city's streets, all animals display an admirable state of hygiene and a zest for life. Except for poor critters sentenced to live confined in a zoo and domestic animals held captives in deplorable harvesting pens, all animals live a carefree existence that is preferable to living off stress sandwiches of modern humankind. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Drunkards quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
To dispute with a drunkard is to debate with an empty house. ~ Publilius Syrus
Drunkards quotes by Publilius Syrus
In the shadow of feigned cripples and false wounds come the strong arms of thieves and very healthy drunkards. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Drunkards quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
The irrational in the human has something about it altogether repulsive and terrible, as we see in the maniac, the miser, the drunkard or the ape. ~ George Santayana
Drunkards quotes by George Santayana
There are more gluttons than drunkards in hell. ~ Austin O'Malley
Drunkards quotes by Austin O'Malley
What do drunkards do? They ... drink ... themselves ... to ... death. ~ William Seabrook
Drunkards quotes by William Seabrook
I shall grind your bones to powder," he hollered, transfixing the three Gentlemen Bastards with his gleaming eyes. "And with that dust I'll make cement for paving stones, and for a hundred years to come you'll have no rest beneath the crush of strange wheels and the tramp of strange boots! Drunkards will make their unclean water upon you, and I shall laugh to think of it, ~ Scott Lynch
Drunkards quotes by Scott Lynch
The wine is from God, but the drunkard is from the Devil. ~ Anonymous
Drunkards quotes by Anonymous
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune,
often the surfeit
of our own behavior,
we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star. ~ William Shakespeare
Drunkards quotes by William Shakespeare
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair. ~ Gautama Buddha
Drunkards quotes by Gautama Buddha
Most people desperately desire to believe that they are a part of a great mystery, that Creation is a work of grace and glory, not merely the result of random forces colliding. Yet each time that they are given but one reason to doubt, a worm in the apple of the heart makes them turn away from a thousand proofs of the miraculous, whereupon they have a drunkard's thirst for cynicism, and they feed upon despair as a starving man upon a loaf of bread. ~ Dean Koontz
Drunkards quotes by Dean Koontz
so meer Poets and meer Musicians, are as sottish as meer Drunkards are, who live in a continuall mist without seeing, or judgeing any thing clearly.
A man should be learn'd in severall Sciences, and should have a rea∣sonable Philosophicall, and ni some measure a Mathematicall head; to be a compleat and excellent Poet ~ John Dryden
Drunkards quotes by John Dryden
I'll tell you," said Beatty, smiling at his cards. "That made you for a little while a drunkard. Read a few lines and off you go over the cliff. Bang, you're ready to blow up the world, chop off heads, knock down women and children, destroy authority. I know. I've been through it all. ~ Ray Bradbury
Drunkards quotes by Ray Bradbury
The one victory we can ever call complete will be that one which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Drunkards quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Crosby was in his cups and had the drunkard's illusion that he could speak frankly, provided he spoke affectionately. He spoke frankly and affectionately of Newt's size, something nobody else in the bar had so far commented on. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Drunkards quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Those who are born of parents broken with old age, or of such as are not yet ripe or are too young, or of drunkards, soft or effeminate men, want a great and liberal ingenuity or wit. ~ Thomas Willis
Drunkards quotes by Thomas Willis
Some brewers of Ale and Beere doe put it into their drinke to make it more heady, fit to please drunkards, who thereby, according to their several dispositions, become either dead drunke, or foolish drunke, or madde drunke. ~ Matthias De L'Obel
Drunkards quotes by Matthias De L'Obel
Christianity has so much taken roots among us that drunkards sing gospel songs on their way home ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Drunkards quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top? ~ Pat Robertson
Drunkards quotes by Pat Robertson
God always helps madmen, lovers, and drunkards. ~ Marguerite De Navarre
Drunkards quotes by Marguerite De Navarre
Before the Roman came to Rye or out to severn strode, / The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Drunkards quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
The strategic marketing paradigm of Open Source is a massively-parallel drunkard's walk filtered by a Darwinistic process. ~ Bruce Perens
Drunkards quotes by Bruce Perens
All sectarian religions take for granted that all men are equal. This is not warranted by science. There is more difference between minds than between bodies. One fundamental doctrine of Hinduism is that all men are different, there being unity in variety. Even for a drunkard, there are some Mantras-even for a man going to a prostitute! ~ Swami Vivekananda
Drunkards quotes by Swami Vivekananda
We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one ~ Voltaire
Drunkards quotes by Voltaire
It's solitary drinking that makes drunkards. ~ Nathanael West
Drunkards quotes by Nathanael West
All you drunkards: Put down the intoxicating Vanity Metrics. ~ Mark Twain
Drunkards quotes by Mark Twain
Journalism is a low trade and a habit worse than heroin, a strange seedy world of misfits and drunkards and failures. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Drunkards quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
This," James said, when he had disappeared. "This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune - often the surfeit of our own behavior - we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars … as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforc'd obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting-on! ~ M.L. Rio
Drunkards quotes by M.L. Rio
...holding your hand out and making a gesture that, in the surreal parrallel universe of the classroom would suggest that instruction, but anywhere else would be taken for a drunkard's poorly achieved impression of an epileptic spider failing to negotiate a hairpin bend. ~ Phil Beadle
Drunkards quotes by Phil Beadle
The moon splits open.
We move through, waterbirds rising
to look for another lake.
Or say we are living in a love-ocean,
where trust works to caulk our body-boat,
to make it last a little while,
until the inevitable shipwreck,
the total marriage, the death-union.
Dissolve in friendship,
like two drunkards fighting.
Do not look for justice here
in the jungle where your animal soul
gives you bad advice.
Drink enough wine so that you stop talking.
You are a lover, and love is a tavern
where no one makes much sense.
Even if the things you say are poems
as dense as sacks of Solomon's gold,
they become pointless. ~ Rumi
Drunkards quotes by Rumi
What do you think spies are: priests, saints, and martyrs? They're a squalid procession of vain fools, traitors too, yes; pansies, sadists, and drunkards, people who play cowboys and Indians to brighten their rotten lives. Do you think they sit like monks in London balancing the rights and wrongs? ~ John Le Carre
Drunkards quotes by John Le Carre
We all have a tendency to use research as a drunkard uses a lamppost - for support, but not for illumination ~ David Ogilvy
Drunkards quotes by David Ogilvy
If she was broken, she would slash him with her jagged edges, reckless as a drunkard with a shattered bottle. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Drunkards quotes by Diana Gabaldon
But I had not the strength nor the inclination to bandy words with a drunkard. What have you done when you have bested a fool? ~ Charles Portis
Drunkards quotes by Charles Portis
D'Artagnan ran home immediately, and although it was three o'clock in the morning and he had some of the worst quarters of Paris to traverse, he met with no misadventure. Everyone knows that drunkards and lovers have a protecting deity. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Drunkards quotes by Alexandre Dumas
The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard's blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Drunkards quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
It occurred to her that when people were drunk they always tried to impersonate drunkards, and the drunker they were the more they overacted. ~ Boris Pasternak
Drunkards quotes by Boris Pasternak
Sooner or later, fate puts us together with all the people, one by one, who show us what we could, and shouldn't, let ourselves become. Sooner or later we meet the drunkard, the waster, the betrayer, the ruthless mind, and the hate-filled heart. But fate loads the dice, of course, because we usually find ourselves loving or pitying almost all of those people. And it's impossible to despise someone you honestly pity, and to shun someone you truly love. ~ Gregory David Roberts
Drunkards quotes by Gregory David Roberts
I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Drunkards quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Other vices make their own way; this makes way for all vices. He that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice. ~ Francis Quarles
Drunkards quotes by Francis Quarles
Poe wrote like a drunkard and a man who is not accustomed to pay his debts. ~ Arthur Twining Hadley
Drunkards quotes by Arthur Twining Hadley
I weep when I see these videos that are sent to me from all over the country. Whole groups of bodies jerking out of control, falling on the floor, laughing hysterically, staggering around like drunkards Anything that cannot be found in Scripture has to be rejected outright - totally rejected, ~ David Wilkerson
Drunkards quotes by David Wilkerson
Natural or sexual selection acts on these nonsilent mutations, slightly increasing or decreasing the offspring with that trait in each successive generation against a background of random genetic change. This random genetic change and the accumulation of heritable changes, while the other drives increases or decreases in traits based on the advantage or disadvantage they confer on the organism. Taken together, randomness and direction produce what biologist Stephen Jay Gould called the "drunkard's walk." A person stumbling from a bar and deeply inebriated might have some sense of which direction home lies, but their path would be anything but direct. They might, if the randomness predominated, even be headed in the wrong direction. ~ Aron Ra
Drunkards quotes by Aron Ra
I stand quietly on the beach. My silence shields me from faraway waves that smell of sunken ships. My silence shelters me from distant boats chasing enemies and protects me from the cold night wind seeking drunkards. I sit on a sandy beach and my silence hides me from the stars. ~ Bachtyar Ali
Drunkards quotes by Bachtyar Ali
A drunkard is one thing, and a temperate man is quite another. ~ Arthur Keith
Drunkards quotes by Arthur Keith
When one becomes for an instant one's former self, that is to say different from what one has been for some time past, one's sensibility, being no longer dulled by habit, receives from the slightest stimulus vivid impressions which make everything that has preceded them fade into insignificance, impressions to which, because of their intensity, we attach ourselves with the momentary enthusiasm of a drunkard. ~ Marcel Proust
Drunkards quotes by Marcel Proust
Everyone knows that drunkards and lovers have a protecting diety. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Drunkards quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Do you think," said Candide, "that mankind always massacred one another as they do now? Were they always guilty of lies, fraud, treachery, ingratitude, inconstancy, envy, ambition, and cruelty? Were they always thieves, fools, cowards, gluttons, drunkards, misers, calumniators, debauchees, fanatics, and hypocrites?" "Do you believe," said Martin, "that hawks have always been accustomed to eat pigeons when they came in their way?" "Doubtless," said Candide. "Well then," replied Martin, "if hawks have always had the same nature, why should you pretend that mankind change theirs? ~ Voltaire
Drunkards quotes by Voltaire
In the Alco Ward a dispute had broken out over plagiarism. Incidentally, when I arrived there for the first time I did not have the slightest notion that I was crossing the threshold of a creative writing program, that I was entering a community of people of the pen, of writers who were incessantly creating their alcoholic autobiographies, recording their innermost feeling in cheap sixty-page notebooks that were called emotional journals, laboriously assembling their drunkard's confessions. ~ Jerzy Pilch
Drunkards quotes by Jerzy Pilch
You may think novelists always have fixed plans to which they work, so that the future predicted by Chapter One is always inexorably the actuality of Chapter Thirteen. But novelists write for countless different reasons: for money, for fame, for reviewers, for parents, for friends, for loved ones; for vanity, for pride, for curiosity, for amusement: as skilled furniture makers enjoy making furniture, as drunkards like drinking, as judges like judging, as Sicilians like emptying a shotgun into an enemy's back. I could fill a book with reasons, and they would all be true, though not true of all. Only one same reason is shared by all of us: we wish to create worlds as real as, but other than the world that is. Or was. This is why we cannot plan. We know a world is an organism, not a machine. ~ John Fowles
Drunkards quotes by John Fowles
If we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Drunkards quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Troops of furies march in the drunkard's triumph. ~ Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
Drunkards quotes by Johann Georg Ritter Von Zimmermann
What kind of crops do they raise in the towns? Only Grand Dukes, Bolsheviks and drunkards! ~ Ernest Poole
Drunkards quotes by Ernest Poole
Words spoken to drunkards were truly words written in water. They vanished into the endless void in which the drunkard languished. ~ Anne Rice
Drunkards quotes by Anne Rice
Of course, this has its good side as well as its bad one. As we become permanent drunkards by so may separate drinks, so we become saints in the moral, and authorities and experts in the practical and scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself. ~ William James
Drunkards quotes by William James
When we speak to drunkards, worldlings, or any ignorant, unconverted men, we disgrace them as in that condition to the utmost, and lay it on as plainly as we can speak, and tell them of their sin, and shame, and misery: and we expect, not only that they should bear all patiently, but take all thankfully, and we have good reasons for all this; and most that I deal with do take it patiently ... But if we speak to a godly minister against his errors or any sin ... if it be not more an applause than a reprehension, they take it as an injury almost insufferable. ~ Richard Baxter
Drunkards quotes by Richard Baxter
I've never fully understood how Christianity became quite so tame and respectable, given its origins among drunkards, prostitutes, and tax collectors. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Drunkards quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
So the baby was carried in a small deal box, under an ancient woman's shawl, to the churchyard that night, and buried by lantern-light, at the cost of a shilling and a pint of beer to the sexton, in that shabby corner of God's allotment where He lets the nettles grow, and where all unbaptized infants, notorious drunkards, suicides, and others of the conjecturally damned are laid. ~ Thomas Hardy
Drunkards quotes by Thomas Hardy
When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow?
If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad,
Threatening the welking with his big-swoln face?
And wilt though have a reason for this coil?
I am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow!
She is the weeping welkin, I the earth:
Then must my sea be moved with her sighs;
Then must my earth with her continual tears
Become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd;
For why my bowels cannot hide her woes,
But like a drunkard must I vomit them.
Then give me leave, for losers will have leave
To ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues. ~ William Shakespeare
Drunkards quotes by William Shakespeare
It were better for a man to be subject to any vice than to drunkenness; for all other vanities and sins are recovered, but a drunkard will never shake off the delight of beastliness. ~ Walter Raleigh
Drunkards quotes by Walter Raleigh
Mere poets are sottish as mere drunkards are, who live in a continual mist, without seeing or judging anything clearly. A man should be learned in several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet. ~ John Dryden
Drunkards quotes by John Dryden
All failures - neurotics, psychotics, criminals, drunkards, problem children, suicides, perverts, and prostitutes - are failures because they are lacking in social interest ~ Alfred Adler
Drunkards quotes by Alfred Adler
And He will judge and will forgive all, the good and the evil, the wise and the meek . . . And when He has done with all of them, then He will summon us. 'You too come forth,' He will say, 'Come forth ye drunkards, come forth, ye weak ones, come forth, ye children of shame!' And we shall all come forth, without shame and shall stand before him. And He will say unto us, 'Ye are swine, made in the Image of the Beast and with his mark; but come ye also!' And the wise ones and those of understanding will say, 'Oh Lord, why dost Thou receive these men?' And He will say, 'This is why I receive them, oh ye wise, this is why I receive them, oh ye of understanding, that not one of them believed himself to be worthy of this.' And He will hold out His hands to us and we shall fall down before him . . . and we shall weep . . . and we shall understand all things! Then we shall understand everything! . . . and all will understand ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Drunkards quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Drunkard's walk: how randomness rules our lives / Leonard Mlodinow. ~ Leonard Mlodinow
Drunkards quotes by Leonard Mlodinow
One cannot properly drink without self-deception: the lips have to deny the liquor that just passed down the throat. It was surely for the relief of drunkards that the Lord God did not write upon the stone tablets the commandment: thou shalt not lie. The word has to deny the addiction. Among the tribe of alcoholics, lying is a badge of honor - the truth is first an indiscretion, later an affront, and finally a source of despair. If you truly drink, you have to announce to all and sundry that you do not drink; if you admit you drink, that means you do not truly drink. True all-out drinking has to be concealed; anyone who reveals it is giving in, confessing to helplessness, and all that remains for him is weeping, the gnashing of teeth, and the 12 step program. ~ Jerzy Pilch
Drunkards quotes by Jerzy Pilch
A drunkard cannot plead his case. ~ Nachman Of Breslov
Drunkards quotes by Nachman Of Breslov
There are more old drunkards than old physicians. ~ Francois Rabelais
Drunkards quotes by Francois Rabelais
But now I discovered the wonderful power of wine. I understood why men become drunkards. For the way it worked on me was not at all that it blotted out these sorrows, but that it made them seem glorious and noble, like sad music, and I somehow great and revered for feeling them. ~ C.S. Lewis
Drunkards quotes by C.S. Lewis
The world was a bubble now, thin and glistening, and everyone else had found their way inside. But Leonard was too heavy for the bubble. He was a man out of time: too old to be one of the spirited young people and too young to fit in with the hopeless drunkards who lined the river. He felt a connection to nothing and to nobody. ~ Kate Morton
Drunkards quotes by Kate Morton
It is midnight in the hard part of town. The mask is itching like it always does. The ragged end of my cape is soaking in a puddle of something I don't want to guess about. I'm crouched behind a kicked-in aluminum trash can. It stinks of rotted meat and drunkard's piss - and I feel right at home. (from Nothing to Lose) ~ Steve Vernon
Drunkards quotes by Steve Vernon
There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America. ~ Otto Von Bismarck
Drunkards quotes by Otto Von Bismarck
45"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, [3] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' 49and begins to beat his fellow servants [4] and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ~ Anonymous
Drunkards quotes by Anonymous
Everyone knows that God protects drunkards and lovers. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Drunkards quotes by Alexandre Dumas
They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and children. Guess which one I am. ~ Stephen Colbert
