“Did you ever taste beer?” “I had a sip of it once,” said the small servant. “Here’s a state of things!” cried Mr Swiveller, raising his eyes to the ceiling. “She never tasted it — it can’t be tasted in a sip!” — The Old Curiosity Shop

My Take – Life must be taken in deep draughts.  In order to know whether or not you like something, you must experience it.  If all it takes is a tiny sample or a small amount of time to experience it, so be it.  But if it requires a lot of tries to truly know its true nature, take the time to know whether or not it is for you.  Life is not won by those who didn’t learn drink deep from it.
