• Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing.

We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.
