Life's too short to worry
Life's too long to wait
Well, it's too short not to love everybody
And life is too long to hate"
I meet a lot of men who haggle, finagle all the time
Just tryin' to save a nickel and make a dime
Not me," she said, "No sir-ee
You know I ain't a-got the time

- Miss Virgie, as told to Todd Snider

“If ye love wealth better than Liberty, the tranquility of servitude, than the animating contest of freedom; then go from us in peace.

Strong drink in some form is the remedy for every sickness, the cordial for every sorrow. It must grace the festivity of the wedding; it must enliven the gloom of the funeral. It must cheer the intercourse of friends and enlighten the fatigue of labor. Success deserves a treat and disappointment needs it. The busy drink because they are busy; the idle because they have nothing else to do. The farmer must drink because his work is hard; the mechanic because his employment is sedentary and dull. It is warm, men drink to be cool; it is cool, they drink to be warm.

- 19th century prohibition literature
