A surfeit of sweetest things. [ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream ]

Surfeit has killed more than hunger. [ Proverb ]

A surfeit or the sweetest things
The deepest loathing to the stomach brings. [ William Shakespeare ]

Surfeit of the sweetest things
The deepest loathing to the stomach brings. [ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream ]

A giant will starve with what will surfeit a dwarf. [ Proverb ]

One may surfeit with too much, as well as starve with too little. [ Proverb ]

They are sick that surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing. [ William Shakespeare ]

As surfeit is the father of much fast, so every scope by the immoderate use turns to restraint. [ William Shakespeare ]

Avarice begets more vices than Priam did children, and like Priam survives them all. It starves its keeper to surfeit those who wish him dead, and makes him submit to more mortifications to lose heaven than the martyr undergoes to gain it. [ Colton ]

A town, before it can be plundered and deserted, must first be taken; and in this particular Venus has borrowed a law from her consort Mars. A woman that wishes to retain her suitor must keep him in the trenches; for this is a siege which the besieger never raises for want of supplies, since a feast is more fatal to love than a fast, and a surfeit than a starvation. Inanition may cause it to die a slow death, but repletion always destroys it by a sudden one. [ Colton ]
