Famous quotes containing the word food:

    Nurturing competence, the food of self-esteem, comes from acknowledging and appreciating the positive contributions your children make. By catching our kids doing things right, we bring out the good that is already there.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    A few pieces of fat pine were a great treasure. It is interesting to remember how much of this food for fire is still concealed in the bowels of the earth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Who doth ambition shun,
    And loves to live i’ th’ sun,
    Seeking the food he eats,
    And pleased with what he gets,
    Come hither, come hither, come hither!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
