"Show me people who drink too much, who have o try out fancy drinks, and I will show you people who are miserable and sorry for themselves, always causing trouble and always complaining. Their eyes are bloodshot, and they could have been avoided…"

"The firmest of friendship have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame."

"As gold more splendid from the fire appears, thus friendship brightens by the length of years."
