Buffet Quotations

Know how to behave at a buffet. Take a clean plate for a second helping.
Marilyn vos Savant

Monica Lewinsky

It's so difficult. Sometimes if I have dessert, I think, 'Well, I blew it.' That's something I need to work on and control. But still there's nothing like a buffet.
Donna Dixon
