Summary

This quote humorously highlights the speaker's attitude towards martini consumption. They enjoy indulging in a maximum of two martinis, appreciating the drink's taste and effects. However, the quote suggests that after having three, the speaker becomes quite intoxicated and ends up losing control. By the time they reach four martinis, their level of intoxication is so high that they are completely "under the host" or completely intoxicated. This quote serves as a lighthearted reminder of the limits one should set when it comes to enjoying alcoholic beverages.

Times have changed, and science has made great progress, and so has our work; but our principles have only been confirmed, and along with them our conviction that mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation.
