Food and eating Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Food and eating

1.
Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

2.
Appetite comes with eating; the more one has, the more one would have.
Proverb, French

3.
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Pilgrim, Peace

4.
If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

5.
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides

6.
Yogi ordered a pizza. The waitress asked How many pieces do you want your pie cut? Yogi responded, Four. I don't think I could eat eight.
Berra, Yogi

7.
Sadder than destitution, sadder than a beggar is the man who eats alone in public. Nothing more contradicts the laws of man or beast, for animals always do each other the honor of sharing or disputing each other's food.
Baudrillard, Jean

8.
There is only one thing harder than looking for a dewdrop in the dew, and that is fishing for a clam in the clam chowder.
Proverb, New England

9.
Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

10.
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.
Cooke, Alistair

11.
Lunch is for wimps.
Stone, Oliver

12.
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Schiaparelli, Elsa

13.
He who eats alone chokes alone.
Proverb, Arabian

14.
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.
Butler, Samuel

16.
Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
Socrates

17.
Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork.
Proverb, English

18.
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

19.
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark

20.
I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
Dangerfield, Rodney

21.
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.
Maximus, Tyrius

22.
Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like -- and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres.
Munro, Hector Hugh

23.
Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.
Montesquieu, Charles De

24.
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew

25.
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Hackett, Buddy

26.
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
Schwarzenegger, Arnold

27.
There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.
Santayana, George

28.
A gourmet is just a glutton with brains.
Haberman Jr., Phillip H.

29.
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Lancaster, Burt

30.
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William

31.
Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.
Benjamin, Walter

32.
Roast Beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life's Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entr?es, the hors d'oeuvres, and the things ? la though you know that Roast Beef, medium, is safe and sane, and sure.
Ferber, Edna

33.
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Proverb, French

34.
We know that every woman wants to be thin. Our images of womanhood are almost synonymous with thinness.
Orbach, Susie

35.
Seven's a banquet nine a brawl.
Proverb

36.
A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen.
Hubbard, Kin

37.
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.
Beard, James

38.
It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.
Francis De Sales, St.

39.
I told my doctor I get very tired when I go on a diet, so he gave me pep pills. Know what happened? I ate faster.
Lewis, Joe E.

40.
I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.
Barrymore, John

41.
He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
Saadi

42.
He who cannot eat horsemeat need not do so. Let him eat pork. But he who cannot eat pork, let him eat horsemeat. It's simply a question of taste.
Khrushchev, Nikita

43.
I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I am President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
Bush, George

44.
Most of us are either too think to enjoy eating, or too fat to enjoy walking.
Howe, Edgar Watson

45.
Edible. Good to eat and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Bierce, Ambrose

46.
Much meat, much disease.
Proverb

47.
Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.
Bryson, Bill

48.
The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake.
Proverb

49.
A store of grain, Oh king is the best of treasures. A gem put in your mouth will not support life.
Hitopadesa

50.
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
