When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the person would rather give up reading about the negative aspects of drinking than actually giving up drinking itself. It highlights the individual's aversion to facing the reality or consequences of their actions, choosing to avoid the discomfort of acknowledging the harmful effects of drinking by simply discontinuing their reading on the topic. The quote playfully reflects how people might sometimes turn a blind eye to unpleasant truths instead of dealing with them directly.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.
