Homer
Greek - Poet

I wish that strife would vanish away from among gods and mortals, and gall, which makes a man grow angry for all his great mind, that gall of anger that swarms like smoke inside of a man's heart and becomes a thing sweeter to him by far than the dripping of honey.

Homer

It [revenge] is sweeter far than flowing honey.

Homer

To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.

Charles Spurgeon

The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and those who nourish themselves with this honey produce sweet fruit.

Anthony of Padua

Every great sin ought to rouse a great anger. Mob law is better than no law at all. A community which rises in its wrath to punish with misdirected anger a great wrong is in a healthier moral condition than a community which looks upon its perpetration with apathy and unconcern.

Lyman Abbott

Strawberries that in gardens grow Are plump and juicy fine, But sweeter far as wise men know Spring from the woodland vine. No need for bowl or silver spoon, Sugar or spice or cream, Has the wild berry plucked in June Beside the trickling stream. One such to melt at the tongue's root, Confounding taste with scent, Beats a full peck of garden fruit: Which points my argument.

Robert Graves

No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Pak-China friendship is higher than Himalayas, deeper than ocean, sweeter than honey, and stronger than steel.

Shehbaz Sharif

Nothing but Money, Is sweeter than Honey.

Benjamin Franklin

From his tongue flowed speech sweeter than honey.

Homer

Everything that's born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they're all on fire, and we're all trapped.

Jonathan Safran Foer

How little you know about the age you live in if you think that honey is sweeter than cash in hand

Ovid

If God had not made brown honey, men would think figs much sweeter than they do.

Xenophanes

I love working with big flavors like chiles and smoke. Honey is perfect for softening the edges, mellowing them out a bit. I put it in everything - vinaigrettes, soups, stocks, salsas, so I'm always on the hunt for great honey.

Bobby Flay

He who does not attempt to make peace / When small discords arise, / Is like the bee's hive which leaks drops of honey / Soon, the whole hive collapses.
