Additional quotes by William Rounseville Alger

Fill up the goblet and reach to me some!
Drinking makes wise, but dry fasting makes glum.

Beware the deadly fumes of that insane elation Which rises from the cup of mad impiety,
And go, get drunk with that divine intoxication Which is more sober far than all sobriety.

Ten poor men sleep in peace on one straw heap, as Saadi sings,
But the immensest empire is too narrow for two kings.

When man seized the loadstone of science, the loadstar of superstition vanished in the clouds. - William Rounseville Alger
