   • summary: This contemptible cynic told with glee stories of his own vileness which made good men look at him with scorn; but he fancied himself the cleverest of men. I allow that many great men have been sensual fools, but we can by no means allow that folly and sensuality are inseparable from greatness.

   • date: None
   • words: 5873
   • flesch: 83
   • summary: I am no example for other men who drink as much as I did, or more, or less--but I assume my experiences are somewhat typical, for I am sure my drinking was very typical; and a recital of those experiences and the conclusions thereon is what is before the house. That is the reason drinking liquor gets so many people--either by wrecking their health or by fastening on them the habit they cannot stop.

   • summary: If you will fasten your attention on the single fact, that alcohol hardens this albuminous substance with which I place it in contact, you will have in that single strategic circumstance an explanation of most of its ravages upon the blood and nerves and brain. But brain is the organ of the mind.

   • summary: For about eleven years of the hardest-working period of my life, that in which I produced my large treatises on Physiology, edited the Medical Quarterly Review, and did a great deal of other literary work, besides lecturing, I was practically a total abstainer, though I never took any pledge. When a man allows himself to become a glutton in the matter of smoking tobacco, he suffers for it; and if he becomes a glutton in the matter of eating meat, he just as certainly suffers in another way.
