Dinners

Famous quotes containing the word dinners:

“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women. As the years pass and fires cool, it can become unimportant to stay always on fair terms either with women or one’s fellows, but a wide and sensitive appreciation of fine flavours can still abide with us, to warm our hearts.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)

“Society is composed of two great classes—those who have more dinners than appetite, and those who have more appetite than dinners.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

“You need not rest your reputation on the dinners you give.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
