Famous quotes containing the word food:

    “Feed him ye must, whose food fills you.
    And that this pleasure is like raine,
    Not sent ye for to drowne your paine,
    But for to make it spring againe.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
