    “I can hardly bring myself to caution you against drinking, because I am persuaded that I am writing to a rational creature, a gentleman, and not to a swine. However, that you may not be insensibly drawn into that beastly custom of even sober drinking and sipping, as the sots call it, I advise you to be of no club whatsoever.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)
