Quote by Samuel Johnson
Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit;

Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit; it only animates a man, and enables him to bring out what a dread of the company has repressed. It only puts in motion what had been locked up in frost. – Samuel Johnson
