Famous quotes containing the word drinks:

    My books are water; those of the great geniuses is wine. Everybody drinks water.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Who keeps the tavern and serves up the drinks? The peasant. Who squanders and drinks up money belonging to the peasant commune, the school, the church? The peasant. Who would steal from his neighbor, commit arson, and falsely denounce another for a bottle of vodka? The peasant.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
