Horace
What wonders does not wine! It discloses secrets ratifies and confirms our hopes thrusts the coward forth to battle eases the anxious mind of its burden instructs in arts. Whom has not a cheerful glass made eloquent! Whom not quite free and easy from pinching poverty!

Everything that is superfluous overflows from the full bosom.
Horace
