"Sobriety is love of health, or inability..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“We never desire strongly, what we desire rationally.”

“Women's virtue is frequently nothing but a regard to their own quiet and a tenderness for their reputation.”

“We would rather see those to whom we do good, than those who do good to us.”

“Getting clean made me grow up. I feel like all the years that I was using drugs, I wasn't growing as a person.”

“I had to stop drinking alcohol, because I used to wake up nude in front of my car with my keys in my ass.”

“It's a trip when people take sobriety for granted. Feeling trapped in my addiction and then getting sober - you appreciate it so much more, because I didn't know if I would ever know what it's like to feel normal again, ever.”

“I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.”

“Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!”

“Too much attention to health is a hindrance to learning, to invention, and to studies of any kind, for we are always feeling suspicious shootings and swimmings in our heads, and we are prone to blame studies from them.”
