Anne Sexton
Beer is made by man, wine by God.

Martin Luther
If you are tired and downhearted, take a drink; but this does not mean being a pig and doing nothing but gorging and swilling… You should be moderate and sober; this means that we
should not be drunken, though we may be exhilarated. [Sermon on Soberness and Moderation]

Martin Luther
If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.

David Daye
The selling of bad beer is a crime against Christian love.

Martin Luther
Others drink to forget. Christians drink to remember.
