Robert Burns on food

Man’s inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn.

What’s done we partly may compute,
But know not what’s resisted.

Nae man can tether time or tide.

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Mark Twain1835–1910

You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans.

Ronald Reagan1911–2004

I’m at an age where I think more about food than sex. Last week I put a mirror over my dining room table.

Rodney Dangerfield1921–2004
