Falstaff sweats to death, and lards the lean earth as he walks along. [ William Shakespeare ]

As many suffer from too much as too little. A fat body makes a lean mind. [ Bovee ]

Let me have men about me that are fat; sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights; yonder Cassius has a lean and hungry look; he thinks too much; such men are dangerous. [ William Shakespeare ]

There is something cordial in a fat man, everybody likes him, and he likes everybody. Food does a fat man good; it clings to him; it fructifies upon him; he swells nobly out, and fills a generous space in life. [ Henry Giles ]
