Famous quotes containing the word digestion:

    He hopes it is no other
    But for your health and your digestion sake,
    An after-dinner’s breath.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Memory is like a purse,—if it be over-full that it cannot shut, all will drop out of it. Take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy memory spoil the digestion thereof.
    Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)

    I could not help but say that Mr. Carlyle seemed the only virtuous philosopher we had. Upon which his wife answered, “My dear, if Mr. Carlyle’s digestion had been stronger, there is no saying what he might have been!”
    Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)
