Michel Rolland famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

It's true, some wine improves with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place.
Taking our stand on the immovable rock of Christ's character we risk nothing in saying that the wine of miracle answered to the wine of nature, and was not intoxicating. No counter proof can equal the force of that drawn from His attributes. It is an indecency and a calumny to impute to Christ conduct which requires apology.
Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee? Fed with nourishment divine, The dewy morning's gentle wine! Nature waits upon thee still, And thy verdant cup does fill; 'Tis fill'd wherever thou dost tread, Nature's self's thy Ganymede.
The cheapness of wine seems to be a cause, not of drunkenness, but of sobriety. ...People are seldom guilty of excess in what is their daily fare... On the contrary, in the countries which, either from excessive heat or cold, produce no grapes, and where wine consequently is dear and a rarity, drunkenness is a common vice.
I thought these grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour.
I never ate of the grapes nor feared of the eruptions.
How do I stop eleven million people from buying the grape?
A hangover is the wrath of grapes.
Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
The grape gains its purple tinge by looking at another grape. [Lat., Uvaque conspecta livorem ducit ab uva.]
