One should eat to live, not live to eat.
The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards: one hides his store, and the other stores his hide.
The pleasures of the palate deal with us like the Egyptian thieves, who strangle those whom they embrace.
They whose sole bliss is eating can give but that one brutish reason why they live.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
