Summary

This quote suggests that the most enjoyable and receptive audience is one that possesses intellect and knowledge, while also being in a slightly tipsy state. It implies that when individuals are intelligent and educated, they are more likely to fully comprehend and appreciate the content being presented. At the same time, a slight level of intoxication can potentially enhance their openness and engagement, making them even more receptive to the information or performance being delivered. However, it's important to note that this quote may also be lighthearted or playful in nature, rather than a strict recommendation.

I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ, not in any ostentatious way, not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation, but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world, that you are trying to live by Christ's standards in your own daily life.
