A sober man may become a drunkard through being a coward. A brave man may become a coward through being a drunkard.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Cornstalk was often seen with his warriors. Brave without being rash, he avoided exposure without shrinking; cautious without timidity in the hottest of the battle, he escaped without a wound. As one of the warriors near him showed some signs of timidity, the enraged chief, — with one blow of his tomahawk, cleft his skull. In one of the assaults, Colonel Fields, performing his duty bravely, was shot dead. … The faltering of the ranks encouraged the savages. "Be strong! Be strong!" echoed through the woods over the savage lines in the tones of Cornstalk; and as Captain after Captain, and files of men after files of men, fell, the yells of the Indians were more terrific and their assaults more furious.
Cornstalk
A drunkard or a gambler may be weaned from his ways, but not a politician.
Anthony Trollope
Reasoning with a drunkard is like
Going under water with a torch to seek for a drowning man.Tiruvalluvar
The sight of a drunkard is a better sermon against that vice than the best that was ever preached on that subject.
