Drinking habits were very prevalent among men, and were not in any way disgraceful, unless excessive.

My return to London introduced me to a wider range of society.

The first issue of The Register was printed in London, and gave a glowing account of the province that was to be - its climate, its resources, the sound principles on which it was founded.

I think I was well brought up, for my father and mother were of one mind regarding the care of the family.

I had seen Adelaide the dearest and the cheapest place to live in.

I look back to a happy childhood.

South Australia was the first community to give the secret ballot for political elections.

I had learned what wealth was, and a great deal about production and exchange for myself in the early history of South Australia - of the value of machinery, of roads and bridges, and of ports for transport and export.

Even before the discovery of copper South Australia had turned the corner.

Probably my mother's life was prolonged beyond that of a long-lived family by her coming to Australia in middle life; and if I ever had any tendency to consumption, the climate must have helped me.

I had only two offers of marriage in my life, and I refused both.

I count myself well educated, for the admirable woman at the head of the school which I attended from the age of four and a half till I was thirteen and a half, was a born teacher in advance of her own times.

My brothers went to the parish school, one of the best in the county.

Drinking habits were very prevalent among men, and were not in any way disgraceful, unless excessive.

My pamphlet did not set the Torrens on fire.

Nothing is insignificant in the history of a young community, and - above all - nothing seems impossible.

A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.

After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits.

Our South Australian farmers left their holdings in the hands of their wives and children too young to take with them, but almost all of them returned to grow grain and produce to send to Victoria.

As we grew to love South Australia, we felt that we were in an expanding society, still feeling the bond to the motherland, but eager to develop a perfect society, in the land of our adoption.

The Town Clerkship, however, was the means of giving me a lesson in electoral methods.

Drinking habits were very prevalent among men and were not in any way disgraceful unless excessive.

The world over, give a guy money and it goes to drinking, gambling, and women. When you give a woman money, it goes to feeding, clothing, helping people.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

The beard is here because I got tired of shaving and Grissom, subsequently, got tired of shaving. Grissom, like any other 50-year-old man, is going through a series of mid-life changes. Who knows, he may start drinking.

I prepared for the part by drinking, but I was sober when I was performing.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Men even contract the dirty, filthy habit of chewing tobacco, and when the habit gets a good hold upon them they are never satisfied except when they have a wad of the stuff in their mouth. So with drinking. It is largely a habit.

I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.

I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.

I had a breakthrough, I think my life just became calmer, I gave up drinking. My priorities changed as I had a young daughter. The group didn't want me to record for the Think Tank album... so I took it as a sign to leave.

I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes.

Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do.

Then trust me there's nothing like drinking, So pleasant on this side of the grave: It keeps the unhappy from thinking, And makes e'en the valiant more brave.

I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating. I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I'm taking Viagra and drinking prune juice - I don't know if I'm coming or going.
