Coffee (Which makes the politician)

"Coffee, which makes the politician wise," declared Pope, who was a confirmed coffee drinker. Milton sang its praises thus: "One sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight, beyond the bliss of dreams."

While Sydney Smith tells us that if we want to improve our understanding, "drink coffee."

And thus we find its praises sung by poets, wits and men of note from the period of its first discovery, which seemed to be a happy accident. The delicious aromatic flavor, once tasted, recommended it immediately to popular favor, which has in no wise diminished.
