Motivational Quotes
Food and eating
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.

Best Quotes about Food and eating
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.
Appetite comes with eating; the more one has, the more one would have.
Proverb, French
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
If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides
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
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
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
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
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
Lunch is for wimps.
Stone, Oliver
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
He who eats alone chokes alone.
Proverb, Arabian
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Franklin, Benjamin
The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.
Butler, Samuel
Worthless people love only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
Socrates
Don't dig your grave with your knife and fork.
Proverb, English
To eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
When one has tasted it [Watermelon] he knows what the angels eat.
Twain, Mark
I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
Dangerfield, Rodney
Choose rather to punish your appetites than be punished by them.
Maximus, Tyrius
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
Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half.
Montesquieu, Charles De
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well.
Proverb, Hebrew
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.
Hackett, Buddy
My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it.
Schwarzenegger, Arnold
There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.
Santayana, George
A gourmet is just a glutton with brains.
Haberman Jr., Phillip H.
I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee.
Lancaster, Burt
The soup is never hot enough if the waiter can keep his thumb in it.
Collier, William
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
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
A good meal ought to begin with hunger.
Proverb, French
We know that every woman wants to be thin. Our images of womanhood are almost synonymous with thinness.
Orbach, Susie
Seven's a banquet nine a brawl.
Proverb
A lot of Thanksgiving days have been ruined by not carving the turkey in the kitchen.
Hubbard, Kin
A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart, who looks at her watch.
Beard, James
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.
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.
I would like to find a stew that will give me heartburn immediately, instead of at three o clock in the morning.
Barrymore, John
He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
Saadi
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
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
Most of us are either too think to enjoy eating, or too fat to enjoy walking.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
Much meat, much disease.
Proverb
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
The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake.
Proverb
A store of grain, Oh king is the best of treasures. A gem put in your mouth will not support life.
Hitopadesa
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van
