Famous quotes containing the words contracted and/or monks:

    In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    Bourbon’s the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.
    John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
