It is no fault of mine that some people have no control of their appetites and passions.

Men will abuse almost anything to their own hurt.

I saw as many of our guests over-eat last night as over-drink, and there will be quite as many headaches to-day from excess of terrapin and oysters as from excess of wine.

It's no use, Margaret.

Intemperance is not to be cured in this way.
