Do we really need yet another piece lazily claiming Benjamin Franklin once said the delicious line, &amp;quot;Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy&amp;quot;?!  I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but he didn&amp;#039;t. He was actually writing about wine, and much more elegantly, and in French, for the record.* Still, that doesn&amp;#039;t mean there aren&amp;#039;t good drinking quotes out there. Quotes you&amp;#039;ve maybe never even heard before (because they weren&amp;#039;t uttered by Homer Simpson or weren&amp;#039;t on a poster hanging in your buddy&amp;#039;s dorm room). True quotes that were actually said by successful men and women\u2014and that will actually help get you through your entire damn life. From birth to well... Birth  Infancy  Childhood  Young Adulthood  Dating  Marriage  Parenthood  Old Age  Death  ...and Rebirth  * &amp;quot;Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.&amp;quot; Photos: Getty Images; Illustrations: Jennifer Baumgardner "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
