Today’s Motivation – P. T. on tobacco and alcohol

P. T. on tobacco and alcohol

Even in his day P. T. Barnum wrote of the adverse affects of the indulgences of tobacco and alcohol. It seems the nature of being human hasn’t changed much in a century and a half. 

“Another perilous feature is that this artificial appetite, like jealousy, ‘grows by what it feeds on;’ when you love that which is unnatural, a stronger appetite is created for the hurtful thing than the natural desire for what is harmless.”

~P. T. Barnum from “The Art of Money Getting”
