Fill it up. I take as large draughts of liquor as I did of love. I hate a flincher in either.

don't drain the cup of joy in a single sip.

I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.

I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

Don't stop until you get enough.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF GASTRONOMY

There's a rule for proper doses
in the dinner-eaters lore:
one should stop the filling process
while one still has room for more.

And if someone at the table
had reminded me before -
Hallelujah! I'd be able
to absorb a little more.

Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.

It takes an act of faith. You have to trust that once you use up the good stuff, more good stuff will appear. The well will fill back up.

Keep your best whiskey in a bottle marked ‘mouthwash.’

Remember — -drink the coffee before it goes cold.

"We are all used, all users. With luck, the final tally approximates a balance in our favor. But I think you are one of those who calls the proverbial glass half empty, while I prefer to call it half full."
"No," said Filidor, "in truth, I have never given these matters much thought. I am one who quaffs the glass empty and calls for it to be refilled."

You have to take what you could get when you're getting started.

People empty me. I have to get away to refill.

Again focus your attention on the can; then let the serve serve itself.
