Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:
and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Evangeline Booth, of the Salvation Army, said: "Drink has drained more blood, hung more [black] crepe, sold more homes, plunged more people into bankruptcy, armed more villains, slain more children, snapped more wedding rings, defiled more innocence, blinded more eyes, twisted more limbs, dethroned more reason, wrecked more manhood, dishonored more womanhood, broken more hearts, blasted more lives, driven more to suicide, and dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world."

The Bar A Bar to heaven, a door to hell; Whoever named it, named well. A Bar to manliness and wealth; A door to want and broken health. A Bar to honor, and a good name; A door to grief and sin and shame. A Bar to hope, a bar to prayer; A door to darkness and despair. A Bar to honored useful life; A door to brawling, senseless strife. A Bar to all that's true and brave; A door to every drunkard's grave. A Bar to joys that home imparts; A door to tears and aching hearts. A Bar to heaven, a door to hell; Whoever named it, named it well. Written by a Life convict in Joliet Prison.
