Unquiet meals make ill digestion. [ William Shakespeare ]
Every morsel to a satisfied hunger
Is only a new labor to a tired digestion. [ South ]
Born merely for the purpose of digestion. [ Bruyere ]
All foreign wisdom doth amount to this,
To take all that is given, whether wealth,
Or love, or language; nothing comes amiss;
A good digestion turneth all to health. [ Herbert ]
Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour. [ William Shakespeare ]
Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction.
But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey.
Although his anatomical construction
Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,
Your laboring people think beyond all question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion. [ Byron ]
Now, good digestion wait on appetite. And health on both! [ William Shakespeare ]
Happiness - a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion. [ Rousseau ]
Much reading is like much eating, - wholly useless without digestion. [ South ]
The fate of a nation has often depended on the good or bad digestion of a prime minister. [ Voltaire ]
It is thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and gives health and vigor to the mind. [ T. Fuller ]
Difficulties, by bracing the mind to overcome them, assist cheerfulness, as exercise assists digestion. [ C. N. Bovee ]
As a man may be eating all day, and for want of digestion is never nourished, so these endless readers may cram themselves in vain with intellectual food. [ Dr. I. Watts ]
With stupidity and sound digestion man may front much; but what in these dull, unimaginative days are the terrors of conscience to the diseases of the liver! [ Carlyle ]
Thou mayst as well expect to grow stronger by always eating, as wiser by always reading. It is thought and digestion which make books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind. [ Thomas Fuller ]
Do not worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your digestion good ; exercise ; go slow and easy. Maybe there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but, my friend, these, I reckon, will give you a good lift. [ Abraham Lincoln ]
Facts are to the mind the same thing as food to the body. On the due digestion of facts depends the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigour and health depend on the other. The wisest in council, the ablest in debate, and the most agreeable in the commerce of life, is that man who has assimilated to his understanding the greatest number of facts. [ Burke ]
Health is certainly more valuable than money; because it is by health that money is procured; but thousands and millions are of small avail to alleviate the protracted tortures of the gout, to repair the broken organs of sense, or resuscitate the powers of digestion. Poverty is, indeed, an evil from which we naturally fly, but let us not run from one enemy to another, nor take shelter in the arms of sickness. [ Johnson ]
