Eaten

Famous quotes containing the word eaten:

“A good aphorism is too hard for the teeth of time and is not eaten up by all the centuries, even though it serves as food for every age: hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which—like salt—is always prized, but which never loses its savor as salt does.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“We have already eaten breakfast to the accompaniment, in our morning newspapers, of too many “Yankee Go Home” signs, too many riots, too many denunciations of ourselves, to believe that leadership, even in the cause of peace, can reward us with international laurel wreaths.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

“I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
