Letter "A" » appetite
«Society is composed of two great classes: those who have more dinners than appetite, and those who have more appetite than dinners»
«Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.»
«Sinful and forbidden pleasures are like poisoned bread; they may satisfy appetite for the moment, but there is death in them at the end.»
«Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes.»
«Temperance and labor are the two best physicians of man; labor sharpens the appetite, and temperance prevents from indulging to excess»
«Reason should direct and appetite obey»
«Let the stoics say what they please, we do not eat for the good of living, but because the meat is savory and the appetite is keen.»
«Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a ''taxing-machine';' to the contented, a ''machine for securing property'.' Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.»
