Quote by Samuel Johnson

Wine gives a man nothing... it only puts in motion what had

Summary

This quote suggests that wine does not provide anything new to an individual; rather, it simply unleashes what was already dormant within them. Like melting frost, it brings to life emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that were dormant or restrained. In this sense, wine is seen as a catalyst that reveals one's true nature or sentiments.
