Dinners

Famous quotes containing the word dinners:

“It is remarkable, but on the whole, perhaps, not to be lamented, that the world is so unkind to a new book. Any distinguished traveler who comes to our shores is likely to get more dinners and speeches of welcome than he can well dispose of, but the best books, if noticed at all, meet with coldness and suspicion, or, what is worse, gratuitous, off-hand criticism.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I’ll rhyme you so eight years together, dinners and suppers
and sleeping-hours excepted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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