Pitted against hard drinking gezegde

Pitted against hard drinking Christians the abstemious Mahometans go down like grass before the scythe

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

TOPE, v. To tipple, booze, swill, soak, guzzle, lush, bib, or swig. In the individual, toping is regarded with disesteem, but toping nations are in the forefront of civilization and power. When pitted against the hard-drinking Christians the absemious Mahometans go down like grass before the scythe. In India one hundred thousand beef- eating and brandy-and-soda guzzling Britons hold in subjection two hundred and fifty million vegetarian abstainers of the same Aryan race. With what an easy grace the whisky-loving American pushed the temperate Spaniard out of his possessions! From the time when the Berserkers ravaged all the coasts of western Europe and lay drunk in every conquered port it has been the same way: everywhere the nations that drink too much are observed to fight rather well and not too righteously. Wherefore the estimable old ladies who abolished the canteen from the American army may justly boast of having materially augmented the nation's military power. Pex Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Every now and then we'll do grass rides where we work on cornering skills. We hit the corners hard and fast, and since you're on grass, nine out of ten times you'll go down. You learn how to tumble and how to prepare for a fall.

Cliff Smoot

I think that Christians should not bash this movie without seeing it. A lot of Christians in America think that homosexuality and abortion are the only sins that God cares about, and since this movie is about homosexuality it's automatically from the depths of Hell. Christians didn't put up this much fuss about a movie like Ocean's 11 that makes stealing look cool.

Nathan Willis

Andy's got an unbelievable record on grass so he wants it on grass. I think he knows he can blow those guys off the court (on grass).

Mike Bryan

I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.

Sidney Ponson

aghast that companies who posture themselves as promoting responsible drinking promote drinking games, which by their nature involve heavy drinking.

Henry Wechsler

I know many Christians in the United States are very concerned about China. They think Chinese Christians have no access to bibles.

Cao Shengjie

Mr. O'Brien should be addressing his comments to Christians. I think Muslims are surprised that many Christians don't take their faith so seriously.

Inayat Bunglawala

Everybody is out of the closet except Christians. Satan has set up no trespassing signs and the problem is Christians are obeying them. We can serve God better together than we can segregated.

Alfonzo Surrett

I've been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?

Bill Clinton (1946-)

Does the front runner get all weak-kneed because he's afraid Christians will show up to vote? ... If he's the one to meet Al Gore, he'll need Christians.

Gary Bauer

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: / The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
