Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “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?”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Would mankind be but contented without the continual use of that little but significant pronoun “mine” or “my own,” with what luxurious delight might they revel in the property of others!... But if envy makes me sicken at the sight of everything that is excellent out of my own possession, then will the sweetest food be sharp as vinegar, and every beauty will in my depraved eyes appear as deformity.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “When no food is given to the ear,
    Then let a little be given to the stomach.”
    —Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
