Moderation Objections

More From W. S. Gilbert

Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. the cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
Mistake Fighting Slavery
Moderation? it's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. it's the devil's dilemma. it's neither doing nor not doing. it's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. it's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.
Courage Fear Laughter
My objection to the church isn't that the preachers are cruel, hypocritical, actually wicked, though some of them are that, too - think of how many are arrested for selling fake stock, for seducing 14-year-old girls in orphanages under their care, for arson, for murder. an it isn't so much that the church is in bondage to big business and doctrines as laid down by millionaires - though a lot of churches are that, too. my chief objection is that 99% of sermons and sunday school teachings are so agonizingly dull.
Girl Teaching School
The objections to religion are of two sorts - intellectual and moral. the intellectual objection is that there is no reason to suppose any religion true; the moral objection is that religious precepts date from a time when men were more cruel than they are and therefore tend to perpetuate inhumanities which the moral conscience of the age would otherwise outgrow.
Death Religious Men
I've no objection to the term 'graphic novel,' as long as what it is talking about is actually some sort of graphic work that could conceivably be described as a novel. my main objection to the term is that usually it means a collection of six issues of spider-man, or something that does not have the structure or any of the qualities of a novel, but is perhaps roughly the same size.
Mean Men Talking
Sir, i have no objection to a man's drinking wine, if he can do it in moderation. i found myself apt to go to excess in it, and therefore, after having been for some time without it, on account of illness, i thought it better not to return to it. every man is to judge for himself, according to the effects which he experiences.

The simple dignity of a child drinking a bowl of milk embodies the fascination of an ancient rite.
Children Drinking Simple
Why, if 'tis dancing you would be, there's brisker pipes than poetry. say, for what were hop-yards meant, or why was burton built on trent? oh many a peer of england brews livelier liquor than the muse, and malt does more than milton can to justify god's ways to man. ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think: look into the pewter pot to see the world as the world's not.

A new friend is new wine, when it grows old, you will enjoy drinking it.
