I will never do this, says one, yet does it I am resolved to do this, says another; but flags upon second Thoughts Or does it, tho’ awkwardly, for his Word’s sake As if it were worse to break his Word, than to do amiss in keeping it. - William Penn 07-16
All Excess is ill But Drunkenness is of the worst Sort. It spoils Health, dismounts the Mind, and unmans Men It reveals Secrets, is Quarrelsome, Lascivious, Impudent, Dangerous and Mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a Man Because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast. - William Penn 07-02
