Famous quotes containing the words food and/or habits:

    Hume, and other sceptical innovators, are vain men, and will gratify themselves at any expense. Truth will not afford sufficient food to their vanity; so they have betaken themselves to errour. Truth, sir, is a cow which will yield such people no more milk, and so they are gone to milk the bull.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
