“If you don't like wine, don't prohibit those who love wine. Alcohol, we know, is very powerful. Use, but do not abuse it. And by no means condemn the totality. By doing that you deny God, since He has created all the things that should be enjoyed by human beings without excess. In drinking moderately, you taste and know what it is. In drinking to the point of drunkenness, you revert and become uncivilised. If you don't drink at all you lose something from earth. But if you impede this enjoyment you are just as criminal as the one who kills by taking the life of the individual. You take away pleasure and freedom, and this action I call criminal tyranny. You force the honest one to cheat, the truthful one to lie, and the sober one to become a drunkard.”

“I found that the scales of life, honesty is the balance that should be maintained if there is to be a true civilisation at all. The one who cheats merely cheats himself, because he has lost the scale by which right and wrong are the guides for the uncertain; in his confusion, for the moment, he has no more confidence in himself and his ability to know right from wrong.”
