Unquiet meals make ill digestions.
Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud The eating canter dwells, so eating love Inhabits in the finest wits of all.
Anger's my meat. I sup upon myself, And so shall starve with feeding.
My cake is dough, but I'll in among the rest, Out of hope of all but my share of the feast.
What say you to a piece of beef and mustard?
Fat paunches have lean pates, and dainty bits Make rich the ribs, but backrout quite the wits.
He that keeps not crust nor crum Weary of all, shall want some.
If you love an addle egg as well as you love an idle head, you would eat chickens i' th' shell.
I almost die for food, and let me have it!
Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows
Every one can master a grief but he that has it
The blood more stirsTo rouse a lion than to start a hare!
The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
