Sweet Dish

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or dish:

    Great is my envy of you, earth, in your greed
    Folding her in invisible embrace,
    Denying me the look of the sweet face
    Where I found peace from all my strife at need!
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
