Wine makes a man better pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others… This is one of the disadvantages of wine, it makes a man mistake words for thoughts. – Samuel Johnson
You put it in new words, but it is an old thought. This is one of the disadvantages of wine. It makes a man mistake words for thoughts. – Samuel Johnson, 1778, quoted by James Boswell in The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.
