More on Prudence
“Prudent and active men, who know their strength and use it with limit and circumspection, alone go far in the affairs of the world.”
“The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.”
“Life is always uncertain, and common prudence dictates to every man the necessity of settling his temporal concerns, while it is in his power, and while the mind is calm and undisturbed.”
More on Sobriety
“I stopped drinking when I had children because I wanted to be awake and aware. I did not want to be going, you know, daddy loves you and then drop my head on the table. I do not want to miss anything that they do or say. It is important to me.”
“After I quit drinking, I realized I am the same asshole I always was; I just have fewer dents in my car.”
“Getting clean made me grow up. I feel like all the years that I was using drugs, I wasn't growing as a person.”
