Hunger is not dainty. [ Proverb ]

It is plenty
That makes you dainty. [ Proverb ]

The honey-bee that wanders all day long
The field, the woodland, and the garden over.
To gather in his fragrant winter store.
Humming in calm content his winter song,
Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast,
The lily's dainty cup, the violet's lips.
But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips
The single drop of sweetness closely pressed
Within the poison chalice. [ Anne C. Lynch Botta ]

Tasting so many dishes shows a dainty stomach. [ Seneca ]

Nothing is so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy. [ Samuel Fletcher ]

Fat paunches make lean pates, and dainty bits
Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits. [ William Shakespeare, Love's Labor Lost ]

Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste:
For valour, is not love a Hercules? [ William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act. IV. Sc. 3 ]

A table full of welcome makes scarce one dainty dish. [ William Shakespeare ]

Her golden locks she roundly did uptie in braided trammels, that no looser hairs did out of order stray about her dainty ears. [ Spenser ]
