"I have observed that too much labour not only makes the understanding dull, but intrudes upon the harmony of the body . . . As laying out business more than is consistent with pure wisdom is an evil, so this evil frequently leads into more. Too much business leads to hurry. In the hurry and toil, too much strong drink is often used, and hereby many often suffer loss as to a true composedness of mind."
John Woolman,
18th century Quaker
