Appetite Quotations

If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die.
William Shakespeare

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Worry - a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.
Benjamin Disraeli

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan

A well governed appetite is the greater part of liberty.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
