A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.
Ambrose Bierce
Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.
George Eliot
From the gut comes the strut, and where hunger reigns, strength abstains.
Francois Rabelais
If the large power voluntarily abstains from using its full power or feels the strategic situation to be such that it cannot do so, it in effect loses the advantage of being a big power.
Elliot Richardson
