Mark Twain
Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment.

Why are you drinking?...We only do harm to ourselves when we harbor...There is just so much hurt, disappointment...Climb the mountains and get their good tidings...Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors...Happiness lies first of all in health...
